Wow, never seen that. Auto or Manual? What year?

Looks like heavy duty shockproof.

WTF!?! do ya got some ninja turtles living in there?

Looks like Light Shockproof to me. More proof why I don't think that stuff belongs in those transmissions. I don't run it in my diffs anymore either.

Whoops, thats what I meant I think.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure shockproof is wax based. I know Jack's recommends strongly against using shockproof.

Yea I have no clue what it is but its a 2g tranny and manual.

I would get as much out as you can and then fill it with some cheap fluid, drive it for a couple miles to heat it up, then drain it again to flush it all out. Then fill it with what you plan to run.

+1 on shockproof light. Looks like it was used straight up. I've used 1qt and the rest MTL, but not straight.
