Not the sort of thing people change often so not usually the thing that people know exact details for. If your just after some transmission fluid for your gearbox just go to a local motorshop and ask them, or ring up a local vauxhall service place

IT is most certainly NOT ATF

It is EP80/90 gear oil

Many people make the mistake of using atf as vauxhall gear oil has a red die in it.

j100 your totally right in using atf fluid , but this is known for casing problems, i.e leaking driveshaft seals and gaskets. its best to use ep 80/90 coz this is a little thicker, this is better for older gearbox's
