rear transmission seal

[Jefferyzornow]

I am a new member and would like some advise on changing rear transmission seal on A-833 transmission. Specifically suggestion on lubrication grease for the seal and since I live in a very warm climate the shop manual recommends SAE 140 fluid. Your thoughts?

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Any grease will do. Don't need a lot. Wheel bearing grease or even white lithium will work. Those Mopar engineers were pretty sharp, SAE 140 or a multi weight like SAE 85W-140 should work fine. Just don't use synthetic! Others will chime in. Share some pictures of your car!

A little vaseline on the seal and yoke as you insert it will do fine too.

I generally use 80-90w gear oil , non synthetic so the syncros will work correctly

I thought he was asking about lubricating the seal.

Lubrication. What to use or not to use that is the question? Always questionable? Anything is better than nothing.

Thanks for the information. Nice to hear from some one who lives in the Southwest.
