What's printed in the owners manual for manual trans fluid.
a build sheet might tell you the model of the transmission.
I asked this same question in the thread dedicated to fluid types, and met weeks of static. I decided to do to just bite the bullet and use Pennzoil Synchromesh fluid (Its 9224 compliant which the FSM recommends) for my 6 speed.
FYI - the owners manual for my 05 KJ says it never needs to be changed - so perhaps listening the that advice isn't the best idea.
Do you have the 6 speed as well?
I have the 5 speed. I believe it is the NV 3500 transmission.
as near as I can tell - its the same fluid as mine (ms 9224 compliant) and the image on the Mopar bottle says NV 3500 and NSG 370 (which is the 6 speed). My guess (and dont take this as gospel) is that any 9224 compliant gear oil will work - and there are many manufactures: Penzoil, Mopar, AMSOIL - just to name a few.
If you are in further doubt - call your dealer. They will give you the part number for the current fluid. From there, you can do more searching. I asked and Googled and suggested and so on for over a month before I bit the bullet.

If I was just changing the transmission fluid I wouldn't mind paying the money for the Mopar. But the transmission is leaking, and until I figure out when and how I am going to fix it, I plan on just adding more fluid. What ever Jiffy Lube put in it does not down shift well when it is cold.
