[C320-list] Transmission fluid

[Jon Vez]

Your transmission should be a Kanzaki and will take straight 30W. If it is a
Hurth, it would be the first I've heard of on a 320 with a Euro Yanmar.
Hurth does use ATF...

I have a 2000 320 with the Yanmar european engine, I believe the
transmission is a Hurth.  In reading thru the Yanmar manual they don't seem
to specify the transmission fluid to use.  I have been told a regular 30wt
oil will do and someone else said must use atf, any insight?  I also notice
the figure in the book showed a high and low point, mine only has a low
point on the dip stick?
