I just wanted to let everyone know that I just had to get my transmission rebuilt do to a spun 2nd gear bearing (The bearing over heated we think cuze of the wrong consistancy in the gear lube). We think it was caused from using the wrong fluid in my transmission! Unfortunately I learned the hard way and wanted to warm you all right away! The Mopar "Factory" fluid is a specially blended fluid DESIGNED for our tranmissions. I was using Mobil 1 75W-90 gear Lube.....Big NO NO!!.....The "Factory" Fluid is Mopar Manual Transaxle Lubricant. Part# is 04874465 and you only need two quarts. It's very spendy but WELL worth it! $14/qt. Here is what the back of the bottle says: "Unique manual transaxle lubricant specifically blended for the NV-T350 transaxle. Maintains shift quality and cold temperature properties. Do not use in other transaxles unless specified in your DaimlerChysler service manual."
P.S. Our Eclipses all have NV-T350 Transaxles (5-Speed 1995-1999)
