Can someone tell me how many liters of transmission fluid a 73' RD350 holds? I can't find my manual :haw:

Look at the engine case near the fill hole. I believe the quantity is listed in cc.

SUPERTUNE

Wet change, just drain plug...1500cc
Dry fill, (new engine rebuild) or a complete drain with the clutch side cover off...1600cc

I'm looking at using maxima MTL 80wt. Is that a good wt for normal street use?

I say theres lots of options, trans fluid, motor oil, synthetics etc,  and most are equivalent, the main thing to remember is change it often, the cleaner it is, the less problems.

Worked for Honda shop - Torco 20/50, Yamaha shops Torco 20/50.
I was sponsored by castrol so I use castrol 20/50 no issues.

Gear saver works great but pricey.

If your oil foams it is not suited for wet clutch.
