 Subject: Which tranny ?
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 92 4x4 and the book says I may have a AX15 or something else which I can't remember the name of, how do I tell which it is.
The fill plug is on the driver side and the drain appears to be on the passenger side, if that helps
Thanks

Mozzer, there should be a tag on the drivers side of the trans, that will tell you just what you do have. I think the other trans they used is the NP/NV A535, they used it at first then in 92 or 93 they went to the AX15. They also had a
2500 it was a little better than the A535, but the 3500 is even better. I know that's a little more info than you probably needed. I have the A535 and my drain plug is at the very bottom at the rear of the trans.
Good Luck

Thanks for the info, I couldn't find a tag anywhere so I was hoping for some other distguishing marks or features.
The main reason for asking is to know what oil to use, 10w30 or gear oil.

mozzer, if you have the owners manual I would check that, other wise I would use the 10W30 oil and not the gear oil, about the only thing that uses gear oil any more is the drive axles, even the big trucks use a synthetic light weight gear oil. The NP A535 says to use the 10W30 my repair manual says for all manual transmissions to use the 10W30 the Manual covers 1987-1996 models.
Hope that helps.

Great, thanks for that, the only manual I have is the Haynes thing, which mentions both boxes & types of oil.
If the engine oil will work in both then that's good enough for me. That's a big difference in viscosities from 10w30 to 70w90.

mozzer, not only is the 70W90 thicker, but you will get worst fuel mileage, and harder shifting as well. Just a tip, if I were you I would use a synthatic 10W30 that helps the shifting too. I use a syn.ATF in mine, and I am happy with the way it shifts.
Good Luck
