I have an AMP IRS on my car. It uses a Dana 44. Which gear lube would you recommend for AZ driving? I also would like an opinion on the correct transmission fluid to use in a TR 3550. As always, thanks alot.

Did you change out your diff? It was a 9" Ford when Neil had the car. On the Dana 44's I use the friction modifier from a Chevy dealer.

George Petrus said its a dana 44. Isn't that the gearing?

George must have forgotten, he does make the adapters to put a Jag (Dana 44) diff into a Hi-Tech chassis. Your car has the 9" Ford.
