They sell fluid labeled as automatic trans fluid and manual trans fluid. Was asking for clarification…but automatic transmission fluid (ATF) serves several purposes such cooling, lubricating, transmitting force, and acts as a hydraulic fluid with special additives to prevent foaming, rust, and wear whereas manual transmission fluid primarily lubricates gears and reduces friction.
FYI, OP was looking for AT, not MT, trans fluid. Last edited by M3SQRD; 04-11-2024 at 06:51 AM.. |

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make? BMW offers ATF and MTF (e.g., MTF LT3, MTF LT5, etc.). ATF and MTF are sold regardless of the type of fluid.

As an aside I don't know how common it is but some manual transmissions can be designed to use (require) ATF and not the more viscous manual transmission lube. My 1996 Mustang GT and its 5-speed manual was one such transmission. |
