transmission fluid
recent conversation on type 2 list:
"
yes do change it every 25 years or so!
GL-4 can be found at NAPA, its Sta-Lube brand.
There was NO DEBATE--GL-5 is very, very bad for buses;
I am going to replace my tranny now. . .
(I have heard that the high sulfur content
eats the brass(?) syncros in old VWs).

Hiya Muck,
Yep, you have to get down and dirty to check the tranny fluid. Under the bus on the driver side of the transmission you'll find a 17,, plug about halfway up the side of the tranny case. Remove that plug and you should just be able to feel the fluid at the bottom of the plug hole.
I have to agree with Lavabo on the GL-4 vrs GL-5 issue. Although I would say that the NEWER multi-viscosity tranny fluids are supposed to be OK for use in our older transmissions. I'll stick to GL-4, thank you.
