Talking about a '06 Rubicon 4.0L inline six here where the NSG370 6-speed manual transmission is getting "noisy & fussy" . Mechanic says it needs a new transmission to the rebuild tune of $2,500 ~ $3,000. I hit the Jeep forums for info and am considering a transmission drain & fill as I have no idea when last changed (bought with 80K miles on it) . The Jeep 6 - speed manual transmissions like Pennzoil Synchromesh manual transmission fluid (conventional), the Royal Purple Synchromax and lastly the Redline MTL manual transmission fluids (both are synthetic). * I am inclined to try a drain & fill first - son is discouraged and wants to dump this Rubicom (only 125K miles on it , no rust , body is perfect , new radiator, new clutch , new front & rear seals, and rebult engine top end which were done between 80K and 115K miles) . Hoping to find a : "NSG370 Transmission Whisperer" here who can advise some logical course of action ... Thanks in advance !
