Default Hy-Tran in Truck transmissions?
Has anyone ever heard of or know anyone who has used Hy-tran in their manual
trannys or auto trannys for their pick-ups or cars? Any reason it wouldn't work? thanks,Brian

I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's the best stuff out there for Cub Cadets and tractors.

It would be my opinion to go with the factory recommendation in an automatic transmission, as some have specific needs, that possibly hytran would not best be suited.
on the reverse, ATF is specified as an alternative by Sundstrand.
The fact that hytran absorbs moisture might not be a good thing in an automatic where an emulsion of water/oil
would cause a problem, but I'm no oil expert.
At the cost of hytran, I would think mercon or Dextron would be economically a better choice.
Replacing a automatic is a costly experiment compared to a used hydro for maybe $100.

My S-10 5 speed manual requires synthetic.
Many manual transmissions require sulfur in the oil.
Hytran meets neither requirement.

Automatics are so expensive, I would not second guess the designer.

I think ol' George hit it on the head. Hytran isn't for everything.

I use hytran in my font and rear diff on my pickup. I haven't run it very long like this, but a guy I work with has been running it in his ford for 250,000 miles with no problem. Its really noticeable in the wintertime. Hytran has more friction modifiers than gear oil does Plus CaseIH use it in some of there front diffs and planetaries so I don't see why a pickup could not use it. I would not use it in any transfer case that uses ATF because in really cold weather the oil could be to thick and ruin the pump, same goes for an auto tranny.

Nope but it's great for having that tractor smell on you for date night with the wife.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
