tk5 tranny..........what type of fluid??

[Chris diehl]

I have an 85 b2. 2.8L v6 with Mazda tk5 tranny. 4x4. I've heard to use automatic fluid and I've also heard 80/90 gear oil. Which is right and how much do I put in? 2 auto parts stores said 2 quarts of 80/90 gear oil so that's what I did. I just want to make sure. Figured I would ask the experts

Yep you put in 80/90 weight or whatever it is. I think I used 85/90 RP when I rebuilt mine...

The transfer case and newer Mazda M5OD transmissions take ATF.

OK good. How much do I put in?

I'd just fill it through the filler hole until it comes out, then plug it up and run it around for a little while then pull the plug and check it again.

Well I sure do appreciate it.
