If you have taken apart the transmatic transaxle, add 10 oz of automotive type grease to all the gears, shafts and so on. If you have not taken it apart, there are two holes on edges of the axles, on the lower back side of each end where a special fitting fit and grease can be pumped in. This tool is not available for purchase, your MTD technician probably has it.
It does not take fluid it takes grease and unless you open it up there is no need to change

It has an automatic transmission.
A hydrostatic transmission is used on lawn tractors and riding lawn mowers. It is a bit like the automatic transmission on a car but there are no different gears. The transmission responds to the power called for by the operator when he or she opens the throttle. The mechanism of the transmission uses hydraulics to adjust to the different power requirements.

It can depend on the make and model of the transaxle. But, typically they use a 20W50 motol oil in the transaxle.
To put a new tube of grease into a grease gun, first, remove the plunger by unscrewing the end of the grease gun. Next, take the new grease tube, remove any seals or caps, and insert it into the barrel of the gun, ensuring the open end is facing the nozzle. Reattach the plunger by pushing it back in firmly and screwing the end back on. Finally, pump the grease gun a few times to prime it before applying grease to the riding mower's fittings.
