    regular ATF oil for ZF transmission.

    manual trans oil will make ZF trans shift BAD when cold!!

    just get a big bottle + pump; of top of my head ~less than 2 quarts. capacity listed ~ 1.2-1.4 liters/quarts
    OBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25

    Z4 non powered steering rack fits e30



    Euro e46 2005/6 320d 6mt gearbox into E30 with M20 hardy and beck 1985 327s engine

        O'Reilly's has 3 types of transmission fluid:
        Chrysler ATF+3 & ATF+4
        Mercon/Dexron
        Type F

        Are any of these good for a ZF 5-speed manual?
