Specs 75w-90 and DOT4. Hope this helps.
Thanks. Do you know if it's gl3 or gl5? I've seen conflicting information.

GL-3 is obsolete so it is no longer offered, GL-4 is still around, and is a very different spec than GL-5.
My guess is that it originally spec'd GL-3, so look for a GL-4 product.

Doesn't really matter they aren't hypoid type gears that need gl-5, but nothing for the gl-5 to damage either.
Not many gl-3 options
so your real options are 75w90 GL-4 or GL-5
Gl-5 has extra additives for protection you dont need.
GL-4 may shift better and you can get a specific fluid designed for manual transmissions
but most likely in that horrid transmission it wont matter.
There was a reason that transmission was used for the shortest production run in jeep history.. its basically a light duty car transmission being used in a truck.

I think it will do okay in my 81 amc concord. It's definitely too weak for a jeep.
I've also seen recommendations for pennzoil synchromesh, which is a gl3 spec but seems awfully thin. Any thoughts on this fluid?
If your gearbox shifts perfectly, gl4 or gl5 wont be a big difference, but if your synchros are starting to wear out, gl4 will work better

My dad has this same transmission in his '87 Comanche Chief. I believe he used Castrol 75w-90.
I want to say the fill plug has given other people heck with these transmissions. Were you able to get yours off? I think its a 3/8" square.
