well i feel retarded i looked at that whole page and missed that. thanks alot guys!

just wondering, how come the m50d uses ATF?

tighter internal tolerances. Gear oil can't get into all the little places in the M5OD.

makes sense

 

[Stxrangerbumper]

just the transfer box that uses ATF, gearboxes FM uses a gear oil 80-90. just a matter of properly lubricate the inner bearing. I suspect also that the wear will also be less

, gearboxes FM uses a gear oil 80-90.

what does this mean

the FM transmission gear box uses 80-90 weight
