I am doing a transmission service and putting a new clutch, throw out bearing, and rear main in my uncles 93 Jeep yj 2.5 4cyl, and I was curious when I fill the transmission back up with fluid is it ok to use 75w-90 full synthetic gear oil in it?
Would this be ok to run?Only if it says 'Safe for yellow metals' or words to that effect on the back label. Some GL-5 gears lubes can but most can't. Personally I'd run Redline MT-90 which is a GL-4 75W-90 in your AX-5 transmission.

Also is it ok to run Napa atf +4 in the transfer case the guys at Napa say it’s just Valvoline with a Napa sticker on it.Only if it says 'Safe for yellow metals' or words to that effect on the back label.

Absolutely that'd be a great choice. Actually any good quality ATF is fine for the transfer case.Also is it ok to run Napa atf +4 in the transfer case the guys at Napa say it’s just Valvoline with a Napa sticker on it.

Ok good and I think my Walmart might have some of that redline in stock but it is expensive at almost 20 dollars a quart.Absolutely that'd be a great choice.
What is something that I can use that is readily available in most auto parts stores in stock because I am putting my transmission back in tomorrow and I need to oil tomorrowAbsolutely that'd be a great choice. Actually any good quality ATF is fine for the transfer case.
Would pennzoil synchromesh manual transmission fluid work?Absolutely that'd be a great choice. Actually any good quality ATF is fine for the transfer case.
I’m running pennzoil synchromesh in my 04. Got it at Napa. Hasn’t blown up yet and actually shifts a lot smoother. This was before I learned of this forum and redline MTL. I’ll be switching to that if I ever have a need to change the fluid I put in it.What is something that I can use that is readily available in most auto parts stores in stock because I am putting my transmission back in tomorrow and I need to oil tomorrow
That'd be my last choice, the full synthetic Redline MT-90 would be a much better choice.
Well I was wrong my local Walmart doesn’t have any redline in stock other wise I would go pick some up and the only thing that would work in my area that anyone has is the pennzoil synchromesh manual transmission fluid. I might just have to run that untill I can get some redline ordered.That'd be my last choice, the full synthetic Redline MT-90 would be a much better choice. Not many like how the AX-5 or AX-15 transmissions shift after being filled with Pennzoil or GM (the same product) Synchromesh, especially in cold conditions where a conventional transmission gear lube doesn't work as well.
Yeah I can but the problem is my uncle who I’m fixing his old yj for has an account at Napa and I can just go over there and tell them what parts I need and put it on the account but if I go to another store which would be easy to do I’d have to go get cash from him which is a pain because I work on his Jeep usually while he’s a work.My local Advanced Auto was able to order the Red line mt90 for me and have it in about 3 hrs. later. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask.
I was not really talking about a specific store so much as saying you might ask your parts store if they could get it for you.Yeah I can but the problem is my uncle who I’m fixing his old yj for has an account at Napa and I can just go over there and tell them what parts I need and put it on the account but if I go to another store which would be easy to do I’d have to go get cash from him which is a pain because I work on his Jeep usually while he’s a work.
