hi i am from canada and am running an attex 265 wild wolf. great machine. havn't had it long and havn't tryed the water yet. the old fellow i got it from said it had never been in the water and he was afraid to try it. it runs a j.d. 340 twin cyl. twin carb. I am not sure what oil to use in the tranny, it leaks a little. any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Martin,
Where in Canada are you? It's a pretty big place :o)
You use Automatic Transmission Fluid in the transmission. It's a Borg-Warner T-20. It takes exactly 1 quart of fluid. There are two drain plugs on the back of the transmission that have a square head you open with a 9/16" wrench, or a screwdriver. They made two different types. You can take out both plugs and pour ATF in the top plug until it runs out the bottom plug. That's one quart. Your transmission is likely leaking out the bottom? Around the plungers that go in and out as you move the steering sticks? There are O-rings on those plungers that become worn over time. To fix it, it takes a complete tear-down of the transmission, which sounds a lot scarier than it actually is. Let us all know where it's leaking from, and we'll go into more detail to let you know how to fix it.
Great machine!

Martin, welcome to the forums and thanks for the intro. If you have any pictures post them up in the gallery for everyone to see. If you don't have any pictures, testing your Attex in the water for the first time would be some great ones to take. Full speed of course!
