Last Fall on our way back to Virginia from Alaska, I stopped to see Daryl Christensen at AA Transaxle and had him replace my gear box fluid. After arriving home, I sent him an email and asked what he had used so I could replace it with the same stuff the next time it needed replacing. His response is below, Harold Harold Teer 1991 Westy -- VANGAUX Harrisonburg, VA
Glad you made it home in one piece. Long and winding trip but worth every mile of it… The oil I used was Mobil 1 Delvac 75/90 synthetic and it really is some magic stuff it seems.
