What to top up Tranny with
I had a small leak in my axle seal that I fixed last night and I know that I lost a little Swepco from the tranny.
It has about 1600Miles on the Fluid. I don't want to order a Gallon and pay to ship it tpo Canada until fall when I changew the fluid. What can I put in for now. I probably only need a half a liter to top it up. Something I can buy in Canada Please.

I can't comment on tranny fluid compatibility. I would find someone nearby with a leftover quart of Swepco. I have no doubt that there are many 3/4 empty, 1-gallon bottles of Swepco 201 out there in the deep dark recesses of our garages.

if you plan to service in the fall just order a gallon now , top up , seal the lid tight (so you don't spill it) , put it on a shelf and the in october take it down and service tranny accordingly

How much do you think you lost?

Don't top it off, or you will blow your main shaft seal, as the oil seeks a way out of confinement. What's the transmission? I believe the rule on the 915 was keep it 1/2 ( or was it one) inch below the fill hole. As Jack Olsen asked, how much did you loose? Fixing something that's not really broken can be a costly experiment...

I would top it up with Canadian Tire 75/90 cheap crap. I can't see it hurting at all.

Other option Syncro shift 2
I used a product from BG called syncro shift2 on my last tranny fluid change and it comes in litres. I found it actually worked slightly better than the sweptco in my 915.
