Tranny flush

Tom R S · Aug 9, 2014

Just opened up my Shaw tractor Borg Warner tranny. Had to
free up one of the sliding gears.
Before I put the cover back on i want to flush it out.
What is the best fluid to use for this?

Most use diesel. If you prefer to avoid the "odwar de deisel" cologne treatment, and don't mind spending a little more, get some naphtha or petroleum base cleaning solvent. Just give it time to drain out before refilling the oil.

i like a flush of atf diesel and alcohol.

takes care of water, greasy waxy oil deposits and any hiding crud.

agitate, rinse, repeat.

Then refill with 80-90 wtg ?

I would guess 80w-90. Might ask down in the "Lesser Known Classics" section, someone should know.
