A question for the specialists of oil in my manual gearbox and rear axle.
Both have completely been disassembled and overhauled, so there is no more fluid in it.
From an oldtimer oil specialist I bought for the gearbox:
Classic ATF A
Automatic Transmission Fluid
GM Type A, Suffix A
and for the differential I bought:
Classic Gear LS 90
Transmission Oil
This I found in the Pagoda SL Group Technical Manual:
One thing a lot of owners do not know is that the standard Mercedes 4-spd of that era uses automatic transmission fluid, not engine or gear oil. The transmission itself according to my experience and my literature is basically the same unit as used in the 230-S, 250-S, 250-SE, 280-S, 280-SE sedans. Some other models are close but gearing is a little different in the diesel and 4 cylinder sedans of the era.
Are the oil types I choose the right ones?
