MOPED ARMY

Puchs are supposed to take ATF. I have no idea if the transmission fluid you used will make a difference --probably not.

If you are saying that the moped runs smoother and better than it did before then it's probably because the gearbox had too much or too little fluid before. If it's running worse, then you put too much/too little into the gearbox. To make sure you have the right amount, fill the gearbox right up to the filling hole (or a little past it). Leave the plug screw out until the oil stops dripping. Put the plug screw back, and you're finished.

Too much fluid is not better! It'll just slow you down.

Hi! I'll tell you my MOTOMARINA experience with trans. oil. I was running the recommended straight 30 weight oil until about 7000 mi. when I noticed that the gear clash upon decelerating was getting louder.Being the experimenter I am, I changed to Fully Synthetic,5W-50 EXXON motor oil.It now runs great with almost no gear clash.Now on one with atf required,I'd just go get Fully Synthetic MOBIL 1 ATF,because it is far and away better for protecting that tranny! BYE!

Hi,Michael! Yes.Dexron III ,Mercon,Type F, and Type A are all ATF,but there was a brand named `ATF' and transmission repair shops seemed to prefer it sometimes.But I'm tellin' you this and it's a fact: YOU CANNOT BEAT A FULLY SYNTHETIC TRANSMISSION OIL for protection of all parts from heat and friction! If you must run a transmission oil,unless a manufacturer strictly forbids it,you should run synthetic like AMSOIL,MOBIL 1 etc. Nothing can stand high temps. and stress like fully synthetic tranny oil. I use it in anything that I care about,and I've never had any problems with the common varnish and burning smell that I had before trying it.I hung on to the old ways before,but when they invented synthetics I had to conform or be left behind. BYE!
