Basically you can use either ATF-4 or the OEM Mopar fluid.
I recommend the Mopar fluid.

You can get it here.
Mopar Pro Shop - Mopar Performance Parts (MoPowered) - MOPAR NVT350 MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID BOTTLE

I also recommend the Mopar fluid.

Manual Transaxle Lubricant NV T350, Part # 04874465

I purchased mine from my local Dodge/Chrysler dealership. Even if its not in stock they should be able to have it overnighted from other dealerships in the area.

[LOLVTEC]

Redline order it from road race

 

[DJ Raydiate]

I run the ATF-4 in my gs with no issues.

 

[Alan11]

AMSOIL.. it says in the back of the bottle its compatible with NVT-350 trannys!

EDIT- http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mtf.aspx

 

[95TalonOwner]

Any ATF +4 works fine.

2.1 qts is capacity.

You'll get by fine by only buying 2 quarts as the 0.1 will be in the trans anyway since you'll never drain it all the way. Fill it through the hole the reverse light switch threads in to.

 

[velocitytuner]

does lucas oil make anything compatable aswell?
i have the 420a an im asuming i have the NVT-350?
just curious cause i like lucas oil their products are pretty good...

 

[montm82]

go with redline, i got it from stm

 

[velocitytuner]

ive got nothing against redline...they make good products but ive raced motocross since i was 8 went professional at 17 an ive used their trans black clutch oil almost same stuff as their tranny oil an i wasent impressed with the heat ratio ratings as they say it will stand up to...ill look into thanks for the info.

 

[Alan11]

once again AMSOIL!!

[DSM1G90]

Yes, you need that "FM" (Friction Modifier) in the fluid since those Dodge trannies uses a different kind of syncros (felt lined) and the modifier works well with the felt lining.

Other fluids will destroy the lining.

 

[dewoof01]

I go Amsoil fluid. I thought they stopped making the NVT 350 fluid?

 

[Alan11]

They did stopped making the NVT-350 fluid, only some dealerships carry or have some left it woulnt hurt to call.. but it will be expensive really expensive.
people say to use ATF+4, for some it worked for some it doesn't. To each their own.
At my house the 420a's run AMSOIL, the 4G63 use redline gear oil.
