i am sure no one makes an oil which can be used in "all three".

the diffs are LSD so you should go with a GL-5 oil.

I'm still a little confused about the torque transfer mechanism that takes the ATF fluid, and it's the only part I haven't changed the fluid in. I can see two metal lines running into the same section and two nipples that clearly look like draining nipples above that part of the transfer mechanism. Given that, doesn't it seem like we'd need to bleed something if we drain and fill the torque transfer device?

I know the service manual doesn't mention it, but it just looks like something that would need draining. And if it doesn't, how come we have two lines coming from the reservoir?

what kind of fluid pump did you use to fill the rear fluids? A lot of the ones I'm finding take hundreds of pumps to fill a quart of liquid.. is there anything better available?

I picked this up at Pepboys. It is a marine fluid pump.

Check Fluid Level in SST?

I have read the pages in the service manual, which are replicated in the AMS installation instructions for their cooler, but is there a level check for the SST fluid??

THe Manual just says to switch the transaxle if there is a leak. It also says to refill with approximately 5.5dm^3 of oil. But there is really no fill check. Do I measure what I drain and replace it?
