| seems like youd have to seal it up good to use atf ![Surprised](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_surprised.gif) would be kinda a bad chemical to let into the environment if it started leaking around the axles or something granted oil is going to leak too but I think thats why the peerless axles were grease packed to begin with (if I remember correctly) I think youd be better off with grease anyway just for its tendency to stay on parts and coat them so you have a constant film rather than oil coating then settling off when you park it. | |

| ATF is better for high temp applications, it's basically mineral oil. It has a high boiling point and vapor point, which is why it's used in hydraulic applications (oil heats up when it gets squeezed through the tiny control valve openings). It doesn't contain carbon, like dino oils do, therefore it doesn't do as GOOD a job lubricating.
It will work, and I think the person you were referring to was using it because of the heat developed in these low geared tranny's when you overdrive them. The PROBLEM is that the lubricating properties of ATF break down quickly, so replacing the oil regularly becomes paramount. | |

| I ran synthetic atf I had laying around in my mst206 2-1 over drive I sealed the trans up good got new seals and ran it for a year like that added here and there mainly leakin from axel seals changed it after a year of romping and the fluid was grey nastyness then put 30w oil in it. the trans lasted 2 years before it blew due to bushings wearing out. | |
