Excellent advice! Before going to the trouble and expense to pull everything apart, try a simple drain and fill of the transmission oil. Who knows what fluid is in there right now. It could be original and just plain worn out. Or someone could have changed it using the wrong gear oil like Mobil 1 or many others. Order up Swepco 201 from our host here, and give it a try. As someone who has tried other fluids in the past, I learned many many years ago that this is right fluid for a 915 gear box.
