just finished putting new bearings in the case. now what fluid would be best. i have a 3spd case behind th350. was running atf originally for the poss of fluid transfer between the tranny and case, but now i wonder if thats what caused all the whine, or is it just worn gears?

ATF is definitely wrong....definitely.

I run 80W-90 in mine and always have. Whatever's cheapest...I change it at least once a year anyways, just out of habit. I usually pick up the 5 gallon pails.

Yer 3-speed case will whine due to straight cut gears. Helical cut gears came about in the later 4-speed cases....they are quieter. IMO, ATF might cause greater wear....

I've got Redline shockproof in my t-case. Good stuff, but expensive.

Hey, maybe you should run 90wt in the autotranny on the poss that the tranny is leakin into the t-case. :flipoff2: :flipoff2:
