What type, (synthetic, or reg.)
and Brand.
I am just curious on what everyones fluid choice is. Trying to find advantages or diadvantages.
Thanks guys.

 

well, after i had my T-5 out of my car for the 7th time, my shop teacher at school handed me a printout from one of his manuals saying that a T-5 needs automatic dextron-3 tranny fluid. its stated that regular manual tranmission fluid could ruin the seals

 

dexron 3 in my 700r4

 

mobil 1 atf, which is dexron 3

 

b&m atf...

I figured that I may as well match the fluid with the shift kit.

 

AMSOIL synthetic ATF in the Camaro, and AMSOIL synthetic SuperShift (no friction modifiers) in the '57.

 

I don't know, what kind did GM put in when they made the cars?

 

Just plain old Type F in my TH400 here - it's cheap and works great.

 

AMSOIL synthetic

 

Just picked up a case of Valvoline ATF for 89 cents/qt.

 

GM Syncromesh. That is Tremec's recommendation for the TKO.

I believe all automatics in '82-'92 took Dexron II from the factory (which has since been superceded by Dexron III)...

 

Mobil 1 ATF.

Mobilfluid424 high torque tractor hydroulic fluid in my t-braked TH400 and any other cars I own that I have changed the trans fluid on.

Excellent as an automatic trans fluid with better properties than most all other fluids but the best part about it is it doesnt seem to burn, which is very important to me scince I sit on the brake stalled at 4200 rpm(@20psi). Plus at around $50/5 gal pail it works out to around $2.50 a quart.
