Fluid - M/T
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT
The T-56 transmission uses a special type of lubricant called Dexron II-E or Dexron III. This new fluid can withstand higher temperatures than standard Dexron II, Mercon or Mopar 7176 fluid. The use of standard Dexron II, Mercon or Mopar 7176 automatic transmission fluid is not recommended. This is because of the high temperature encountered within the transmission.
Hypoid gear lube is not to be used in this transmission. Use of hypoid gear lube will cause hard shifting effort and/or transmission failure.
