Re: [MBZ] Manual tranny lubricant Quick question
I use Mobil 1 ATF in the manual transmission in our '81 240D. Works great. On 5/24/07, Redghost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Brian always use Mobil 1 ATF for your transmission.

Prior to the 123, all the manual trans took ATF. I don't know about 123 and later, cause i've never had any of them. I rebuilt a 200D trans that had 90W Hypoid in it.
