    AWD tranz,diff and rear end fluid?

    AWD tranz,diff and rear end fluid?
    what should i run in each, i was thinking of running 80/90 weight gear oil in all, cause thats what i run in my other bp turbo fwd transmissions.
    but the car will be driven in the winter in WI so that 80-90 in the tranz might be to thick.
    please tell me what you guys are on in the 3 for fluids.

    i am going to run 80/90 GL-5 synthetic (whatever's on sale) in the rear diff and center transfer, and redline MTL 70w80 GL-4 synthetic in the gearbox.

      75-90 AMSOil Synthetic is what I run in the center/rear. Been that way for 10 years now, no issues to -40* and +110*. Have used AMSOil ATF and 75/90 gear in the trans; ATF was smoother in the winter when cold (same when warmed up), 75/90 smoother in the summer.
      No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

        Torco 85w140 GL6 racing gearlube in back, center, and gearbox.

              I can't remember. All you need to do is make sure the car is level and fill stuff up, and when gearlube comes outta the fill holes, you're done.

                  well yesterday i went to fill the tranz up and it only took a little less than 1 quart, on my fwd tranz it would take about 3.5 does this sound right?
                  also the tranz was out of the car for a while when i cleaned it up( had that thing tiped all diffrent kind of ways when cleaning it) and did the dohc with boost swap so all the tranz fluid was drained out.
                  also just so people know i only drained the tranz fluid, ie took the bottom plug out, that is on the bottom of the tranz (just like a fwd tranz) and when i filled it up i did that threw the speedo gear spot (just like the fwd tranz).

                  as for the diff and rear end i just left that fluid alone ( didn't drain the old out yet)cause i need to get the car out of the garage for a week and just want to be able to drive it to move it around, i will change the others when i have the garage space again.

                    The trans should have taken more like 3.5 quarts.

                      you filled it wrong.

                      you are supposed to fill the trans throughthe plug in the front of the case, fill till oil overflows out. same deal for the center transfer, theres a plug for the fill and drain there.

                        i had a felling something was not right, got any pics of this front fill plug?
                        do you think the fluid in the speedo gear hole will hurt anything? if so, will i be able to drain it from somewere?

                        a nother ? does the 90 protege FSM cover the awd pros in it?

                          i have a PDF of the awd fsm. i could mail it to you on a cd if you wanted.

                          if it only took a quart and change it probably filled into the center transfer. theres a drain and fill plug for that on the side like i said (back where the driveshaft bolts up)

                          the fill plug is on the front of the tranny a few inches up and towards the drivers side from the reverse light switch.

                            yeah i found it, filled it up with 3.8 or so quarts and then leveled the car
                            and let it drain a little.
                            thanks

                              did you make sure that the center transfer is not over filled too?
