I have a 46 1/2 ton and have to squeeze in the pumpkin about 1/2 bottle per
month of Transmission Oil to keep it full. I can not find 90 grade oil like
the manual states is needed. I am using 85W-90 with a GL5 on the label. Is
this ok to use? They also have 90W-140 but I was scared away by the 140. I
have also found that I can purchase 35 lbs of 90W GL1 at WalMart for around
$20.00 - is this what I am looking for?
It is now dripping out the bottom a lot more since I have scraped off all of
the old grime and dirt. I have looked at a few products like Stop Leak for
transmissions. It states to help bring back the seals. Is this worth a
try?
I can not figure out if it is leaking from the rear or front seal on the
pumpkin. I am guessing that I could change the rear seal in an afternoon,
however changing the front seal could be more than I could do on mine own.
Has anyone completed this task - any hints?
Thanks,
NJJim
