I just replaced my clutch a couple weeks ago and subsequently decided to change the fluid after seeing how easy it would be and that it has 209,000 miles on it. the problem is, for some damn reason my chiltons manual stated 80w oil for a manual trans. reading around the inter-webs i see mercon ATF is whats recomended.
What gives? should i be draining the 80w and replacing with mercon ATF?
do i need to flush the 80w out somehow?
id swear the thing shifts a whole lot better with 80w in there, but the trans is a splash lube design if i'm not mistaken, so that's just not gonna work in the long run imagine.
