blackbomber Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hey guys. my 1984 4x4 is still going strong.. looks like might have leak where the drive shaft comes out of the transmission. not sure how bad it is yet.. is there some kind of seal there??? Mike says use GL4 in tranny, but everywhere I go in town all have GL5.. products... the lucas stuff says gl4 or gl5 compatible.. if I need strictly gl4 where can I get it... any way.. hopefully I can pull the plug tomorrow, and check the level.

wayno Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yes there is a seal there, but there are a few different seals for your transmission, so you need to pull yours complete and take it to the auto parts store. Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think I bought mine at Winchester auto, san jose, brand I think was sta lube. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Nissan # 32136-U0100 used in 610/710/280z/zx/810/Maxima/B210/S10/S110/S12/A10/620/720 Easier to label what they don't fit. wayno I've found different makers make them thinner than the originals I pop out. This allows them to be driven into the case farther and this places the seal surface on an unused pristine portion of the driveshaft spline for a better seal. Chev front timing case seals are this way. Quote Link to comment
blackbomber Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Ok guys.. found some gl4. checked the tranny level today, and weird ,,,doesn't seem low to me. but I don't know for sure, so I guess I will try to top it off at some point. maybe its just engine oil running back on the tranny.. maybe the whole truck is just one big oozing beast. been driving it for 33 years now, just wont die......

Knugcab Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I run Redline MT90 in mine and that works very well. Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Don't top off unless you know what is already in there. If you don't know what is in it now, completely drain, and put in fresh oil. Some gear lubes are not compatible with others. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 The oil is good for 30K miles. This means the second owner should replace it. Maybe. By the third owner all is forgotten. If you are thinking of your transmission oil, cut to the chase and replace it to be sure and safe. Quote Link to comment
