MR. POTATOHEAD, WHEN IN DOUBT CHECK THE CHILTONS MANUAL. STANDARD FORD TYPE ATF IS USED(APPOX 3 QTS.) MANY ARE USING GM SYNCROMESH SYNTHETIC WITH VERY GOOD RESULTS. IT'S A LITTLE PRICY THO AT ABOUT $10 A QT. DRUMMERMIKE

what transmission do you have?

Steve

 

[lrdavi]

I have a T-5

Larry...the GM stuff is the best...but very pricey as stated. I just used the Ford ATF in synthetic form...also a tad pricey...but good stuff. Glad to hear your getting that beastie back on the road!! dino

T-5 use ATF Dex III or Chevy Synchromesh (personally, I would save the $$ and put in ATF

tremec 3550 use the Chevy synchromesh

Mr. P, do NOT use 90 weight. Damn Speedy Lube put it in Joan's Ranger and it cost me 900 bucks to repair.

Oh, never mind. You are used to MUCH more than that!

Ouch.

Can I still come to the Wine Rally? Matt

 

[lrdavi]

Thanks Guys,

Oh, and Matt you can still come but only if you WHINE a little.

Mr. P....

PENNZOIL GM Syncromesh, NO OTHER!. Less than $5.00 bucks a quart, why go with failure at that price? T5/WC/Tremecs are 1/3 the tans parts business, we'll sell you the new Italian gearsets cheap, use ATF, need the business.
