VOA: Mopar Type MS-9417 Manual Transaxle Lubricant

[UncleS2]

I had a virgin sample of this "liquid gold" analyzed by Schaeffer Labs back in Sept. '02. I thought I had posted it here at BITOG long ago, but can't find it by searching, & so post it here. BTW, the lab goofed the first time & had to re-do this test.

This is the manual transaxle lubricant spec'ed by Chrysler for the manual NV-T350 transaxles in all 95-99 Neons. I believe they continued to use it through the 2001 model year, after that they switched to ATF-4.

This sample was from a sealed bottle I bought when I changed my trans fluid in August '02. I'll also post the results of of the factory fill trans fluid, drained & sampled at 116,000 miles.

This fluid is very similar to our SynchroGlide with a 100 C viscosity of approx. 9.1-9.3 cSt.

It should do well in the Neon.

Hi Molakule! I sent you a PM & Email via your website, earlier today. So you think Synchroglide is the right formula for the Neon?
