If this works good I can get this at an excellent price seeing how I have worked for John Deere for about 12 years.

Well it makes sense. A John Deere power shift is just a big clutch to clutch auto transmission minus the auto. Its made to run for run for years at temperatures near boiling and it seems to hold up. The only thing is the viscosity is a little thicker then Dex 3 or Dex 6 though.

The low vis is used in anything with a hydrostatic transmission. On the tractors, it also gets used in the hydraulic cylinders. Its really good stuff for their applications.
Water makes it congeal though... Shouldn't be a big problem in a truck.
