Re: T-case fluid blues

Sometimes fluid thats contaminated with very fine aluminum and/or steel particles can look dark. This likely is not bad so long as the oil does not have a 'metalflake' appearance.

Someone might have changed it and installed engine oil, which has just become dirty......lots of manual transmissions use engine oil and maybe a mechanic just put the wrong stuff in.

Or someone topped it up with gear oil??
