Aaron,
Ya know I dont understand that either. In my manual it also states you can
use Dexron III if the 7171 ATF+3 is not available. I always have used 7176
ATF+3 when doing tranny fluid changes and have always used it when doing
tcase fluid changes. This last time I used Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF, which is
Dexron III ATF. My tcase wouldnt shift nor engage into 4WD after this fluid
went in. I drained and flushed it out, and refilled it with 7176 ATF+3 fluid
and it engaged and shifted great. Go figure, just odd how fluid can make
that much of a difference, but trust me it does!
