[C320-list] Hurth Transmission Fluid Replacement

[Amshd2]

The Perkins with the Hurth Gear box in the 93- early 95 models uses Transmission fluid.  I have hull number 30 with that set up.  Manual calls for ATF Dextron II .

What Bert said. Straight 30W for the tranny. Given he's hull 442, I'm hull 906, you're hull 98, things may indeed have changed.
