What gearbox oil to use in the Chrysler 4 speed manual in my 71 Superbee ?
I read somewhere that some people are using ATF ??

Thank You Gentlemen

Redline mtl or redline mt90. Do not use conventional off the shelf gear oil or atf.

I've used ATF per the FSM for 40 years with no issues.
Also much nicer if you have to do any repairs, doesn't smell as bad ;) easier to clean off parts for inspection.
I've heard some have trouble with clashing when using synthetics, but no personal experience.
ATF is much nicer in cold weather than the old gear oils,too!

Thank You all for your input gentlemen.
It seems like there are two schools of thought here...
