My 1356 uses ATF. Pull the oil level plug and check what's in there. Most probably it's red ATF.

thanks lou. i would do it that way, but its empty from the rebuild, and the shop is no longer in buisness. i talked to another rebuilder last night though, and he confirmed what you say, its atf .

i paid $150 for it from pauls ford barn, outside of boston, and figured if i was putting in a fresh C/6, the case should be fresh also. that was $500, and they replaced all the guts
