Transmission, Tranfer case and Differential fluids
« on: January 08, 2009, 01:48:47 PM »
If I were to walk into Canadian Tire tonight, what would be the best stuff to pick up for changing all three?
I am on a mission to get it all done tonight after a stop on the way home after work.  8)

*Also as a side note, what colour RTV gasket sealant doyou guys use for the diffs?

I have used the Permatex Ultra Black or the Blue gasket maker, both work good.  Be aware that some "full synthetic" gear oils will EAT silicon gasket making compounds.

ATF 4 for the t-case is at canadian tire, I think walmart has a better selection of gear oil though, I'm going to try the Castrol Hypoy C it says you don't need to add extra friction modifier.  If anyone has tried this and found you do need it please chime in.

I think there are some other places to get the special lube for the trans. but Canadian Tire isn't one of them.  Royal Purple (Mopac).  I found it easier to go to the dealership to get it.
This is not 'Nam, this is wheeling.  There are rules.
