changing ax5 fluid?
« on: June 15, 2006, 07:10:58 PM »
My jeep has 70,000 miles and I'm wondering do I change the fluid in the manual tranny?  Any write ups or how to's I can read?

I can't help you on this one...  Pretty sure Jeffy can.

My 2 cents...  call it coincidence...  I bought my Jeep and drove it for a year until I thought to change the manual tranny fluid.  I did so and not more than 100 miles later it stopped going into gear.  I got another tranny and gave that broken one to the guy I bought the rebuilt one from. So I don't know what was wrong with it.  

So, coincidence???

There really isn't a need for a writeup.  It's pretty basic.  Drain and refill.  You might want to read the GL-5 thread and the one about drain plug location.

I didn't think it would be too terribly complicated, but is there any specific fluid you recomend?
Brands, or weights that I might not find in a manual I mean.  Not that I have a manual.

Gm synchromesh manual tranny Fluid IS GREAT for the AX5.

It cost but it will smooth your shifts and won't harm your synchro's
