Fluids for trans and rear?

I'm having the hardest time finding out what type of fluid to use for my trans.

All it says is "3spd hd" on the vin tag in the glove box.

And I have the dana 60 rear.

Thanks guys!

The best IMO for your trans is StaLube 140, best price is usually off Amazon, but some NAPA's carry it in stock, others have to order it.

Ross is right. Straight weight 140 is recommended and helps slow the gears to aid in shifting. If you use multi-vis you may grind going into gear particularly on non-synchro gears (all of them on the T-9 4-speed).

Usually just referred to as the "HD 3-sp" or a T87D
