ATF+4

Walmart carries the Mopar ATF+4 and its much cheaper than it would be at the dealer. My dealer told me it was $9 a quart and its $5 or so at walmart.

You don't want to use ATF in your manual transmission...

You need a Synchromesh fluid for the Jeep manual transmissions.
Amsoil, Redline, Penzoil, Mopar all have their versions but you at least need it to say that it is Synchromesh fluid or it will attack the synchros.
DO NOT USE Automatic Transmission Fluid in it.
