Actually, auto transmission fluid is acceptable fluid for many transfer cases. The autotrak is specifically for the t/cases that happen use a clutch pack to actuate the front drive shaft. A regular old manual shift t/case still uses auto trans fluid for lube.

I read somewhere that while regular ATF will work, some of the newer models were having a problem with the clutches slipping and then gripping, causing a 'clunk'. The reommended fix was switching to the new lubricant.
