TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE

Lubricants
Manual Transmission
Manual transmissions
are designed so
that the internal parts operate in a bath
of oil circulated by the motion of gears
and shafts.
Service Intervals
For recommended
types and brands
of all lubricants, see the transmission
manufacturer's Service Manual and
Preventive Maintenance
Schedule on
page 5-
12.
Check all
hoses for kinks, deterioration,
chang, and leaks. Adjust kinked or
chang hoses to eliminate restrictions
and prevent further wear. To ensure
proper inspection, it may be necessary
to inspect under and inside frame rails
and unclip harnesses, hoses and cable
bundles.
