[Vwdiesel] What transmission fluid?

[Area31 Research Facility]

If MTL is expensive or hard to get save it until you know what is going on.
Put something that resembles oil in there immediately!  Fill it and keep
your eye on the level for a while.  What's wrong with a cheaper hypoid gear
lube oil?

81 Rabbit pickup with 86TD Jetta engine. Thanks for info from all those that
posted. Update: I got the 17mm inside hex socket for tranny fill and found
the bottom bolt to be regular socket 13mm. Problem is when I removed them
only 2 drops of fluid came out from the bottom! I wonder how long I have
been driving without fluid. Transmission has not been complaining except for
reverse gear slipping out sometimes. Can this fluid leak out over time due
to a gasket leak? Hate to put in the MTL I got to see it all leak back out
in short order.
