It is a special fluid called "Synchromesh Transmission Fluid" that you should get from the dealer. Have your VIN because about 3 transmissions are used.
The VIN, or vehicle identification number, is unique to each vehicle and provides much useful information. This information does include what type of engine and what type of transmission the vehicle has.
A dealer could.
The VIN# when pulled up at the dealership should give you all the information that you need about your vehicle including the type of transmission. Also there is a numeric tag that is attached to a bolt on your transmission that will give you this information to.
What type of silverado and what is the VIN and I'll tell you.
== == Depending on the type of manual transmission you have (MUA, RMN, or Borg-Warner T5), a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo (4 cyl or V6) will require either Synchromesh fluid, or Dexron III (yes, that's technically automatic transmission fluid, but certain manual transmissions such as the Borg Warner T5 actually do call for DEXIII ATF). MUA or RMN transmissions: Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid, 5W30 viscosity. It's a light amber-colored fluid.. Synchromesh fluid is also available in other brands, such as Pennzoil, Royal Purple, and GM. Vehicles with MUA or RMN transmissions will need 3.15 quarts of fluid. Borg Warner T-5 transmission: Dexron III ATF. This is a reddish colored fluid. Vehicles with this type of transmission will need 2.2 quartsof fluid. Your next question is probably, "So how do I know which type of transmission I have?" In our experience, the MUA transmission has been more common. However, you'll want to verify; perhaps you can call the dealership with your VIN number and they can decode what type of transmission you have. Perhaps someone with more experience or resources can chime in...
The most current specified and downwardly compatible automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for the 1989 Pontiac Sunbird with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine (Vin "K") is GM Dexron VI.
1. Crawl underneath the vehicle and look on the transmission itself. 2. Easiest way.... Get the VIN # and call the dealer and ask them for parts section, tell the parts person you need to give him the VIN # off your jeep and to please tell you the transmission type you have in your vehicle. They will.
