Anyone know what type, how to check how full it is, and where to fill it at? I'd look in my owners manual but it's for an 07 SS -_-

Just did the clutch on my balt and now it's a wee bit low on trans fluid. Any help would be awesome.

 

It will be some kind of LSD lube. Call your dealer and ask.

 

^That's wrong. Ours is a closed diff and that's a common mistake people make. Either Dealer only or Redline MTL. I just tried the MTL and I like it so far.

 

My bad. I only have 13K miles, so I haven't even started looking into this. That's why I suggested calling the dealer. That's what ima do.

 

Honestly, if I hadn't researched this all last week, I prolly would've said the samething LOL

 

Red Line MT-85 is a good match for the LNF fluid. Same viscosity as Castrol SynTrans, which is what the LNF GM fluid is. It is also a GL-4 fluid same as stock. MTL is a bit thinner and MT-90 is thicker but both GL-4 specs. Do not use a GL-5 NS or GL-5 fluid in our trannys. It was designed for GL-4 fluid.

Like BYT posted, we have a sealed diff.

so how oftern should we change it? by years, or by miles? what if you never drive your car? i put like 6600 miles in one year and seven months.

 

Id check for leaks when ever possible cracks and so forth. Fluid wise, depends on the person. I change mine every 25k miles but I don't think u need to till 100k or so. I am about 80% sure not 100% lol.

 

Just use the GM stuff, it's on CED.

 

also, which onw we suppose to use? redline MT-85 GL-4 or 75W90 NS GL-5? no one really say which one to use.

 

MTL or MT85.

 

thanks, i will just stick with MT-85 or GM fluid.

 

Where cn I get mt-85

 

redline website, or just google it.

 

Jegs stock it.

 

I eventually had my uncle dig it up because I needed the info pretty fast, sorry guys. Which was good cause for some reason ALL the dealership was pulling up was the LSJ fluid -_- Focking dealership pulled the trans out, looked at my clutch told me it was fried. They let out almost a full quart of the trans fluid doing it and didn't fill it back up and I beleive the full capacity is just over a quart. jackasses.
