ATF should be good in the transfer case. The manual trans requires something different. I used penzoil synchromesh. I would see if amsoil has an equivalent to that. My trans took about 2.3 qts.

I had a 2011 manual transmission and used amsoil products before I converted to my hemi. Use MTFQT-EA for your manual transmission, and you will need a little under 2 quarts. You can use either OTFQT-EA or ATFQT-EA for your transfer case, and you will need a little over 2 quarts. What rob said sounds about right for the transfer case.

Ok thanks guy. I checked and the trans requires a synchromesh manual fluid and amsoil has a equivalent to Chryslers specs
