[C320-list] Transmission fluid

[Scott Thompson]

Depends on which transmission model you have.  If you have a Yanmar 
engine then it's very likely that you should be using the same oil that 
you put in the engine.  What's more, ATF could ruin your transmission in 
this case.  Some Yanmar engines have different transmissions that use 
ATF, but I've never heard that any of these were put in a 320 at the 
factory.  Details are in the engine owners manual.  I would NOT blindly 
trust your local Yanmar dealer on this one.  The one in Annapolis gave 
me the wrong advice on this very question a few years ago.  Fortunately 
I straightened it out with Yanmar tech support before putting ATF in my 
transmission.
