I just came across some tech articles on trans fluid and thought they were pretty interesting...i just quickly searched and this was the first forum discussion i came across, however, not the original ones i saw on jeeps unlimited and the other big forums. Here's a link to this one just as an idea to the controversy and which trans fluid to actually run. It sounded like the Redline was a good choice from the first forum I read and I was looking for fluid for the AX15.

I don't think it matters for you what kind you use. if you go above the frame often enough you will fill the tranny with water and have to change it anyway.

yeah with as deep as you had that thing you should drain and fill everything! hell I would even clean out the wiper wash. Did you change the clutch? If not if your jeep has High miles I would look in to that.

Subject: in to deep Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:37 am

new cluch changed all the fluid and it wasnt that deep not even up to the high water line in the cab i just hit it to fast so eather i need go slow or put a snorkel on it ............i vote snorkle..........but the reason i asked the question is that ive heared that gl 5 will kill the syncs in the tran and that i should use gl 3 .but i used lucas oil thats rated for both and that bothers me it shifts fine for now and better then before.so we will see

That's what i read about the GL-5. I'm thinking I might put lucas in mine. I've seen it work wonders. A question I have is that if anybody else has problems with the AX15 shifting into 2nd on cold mornings. This seems to be a very common problem and I'm wondering if Lucas or something similar will help - I think it would
