I thought we had the info on this in the Service Info Wiki, it's not there though, and I have no idea what 'stub' means... Hopefully Baz will come along shortly with the advised type, but I'll try and find out for you in the mean time...

I googled Stub
An article too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject should be marked as a stub by adding a stub template from the list here to the end of the article. Anyone can edit a stub article, or remove a stub template from an article which is no longer a stub.

Dextron III is ringing a bell, but, from a quick search on VCA:

"According to the Spring 08' issue of Viper magazine, you should use ATF +4 (full synthetic) Dodge part # 05013457AA. 4 quarts (3.8L). If you are having any neutral gear rattle, use Mopar Synthetic Manual Transmission Lubricant, Dodge part # 04874459. Do not mix gear oil with ATF."


Also:

"many dealers no longer have Mopar Dexron III...and, as noted, in the Viper Mag it says that ATF+4 is the official replacement"

[RT/10Dave]

Another comment found on VCA

"YOUR Viper's factory fill of tranny fluid was likely MOPAR's Dexron III...often upgraded (for Neutral Gear Rattle) to MOPAR's Synthetic Manual Transmission Lubricant 75W-85."

"Keep in mind, that Dexron III is no longer available at most Dodge dealerships...BUT, as noted in a recent issue of Viper Magazine, MOPAR's ATF+4 is listed as a substitute for the Dexron III."

Valvoline ATF+4® is a high-quality synthetic transmission fluid specifically engineered to protect and prolong the life of Chrysler automatic transmissions.

Officially licensed and Chrysler approved

Vipers do not have automatic transmissions, I am therefore unable to assist any further with your request for further information.

I didn't recommend anything, (Legal stance: I will not be held liable if anything goes wrong)... I just did a search and came up with the goods for you from the VCA forums... If it's also good for Auto boxes, then we've found another use for it...

I have Fuchs Titan ATF 4000 which is a Dexron 3 in stock. I also have Racing Synchro 80 gearlube which is a fully synthetic GL4.....I used this in Skunks T56 box.

The wiki had the part no for the synthetic oil but the change procedure was yet to be written. i have just added the best i could from memory and being 4000 miles away from my service manual, so apologies if some specifics are missing.

Last time I got my Dexron III from Baz's mates at US Automotive. They might be able to help and you'll probably get a discount by mentioning Baz as well.
