Re: [FWDLK] More Transmission questions..

[William Huff <whuff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Garrett,

I have been using either Dexron or Type F, whichever was available, 
in my 727 aluminum transmissions for over 20 years.  So far (hope I 
don't jinx myself) no problems whatsoever.  Some knowledgeable folks 
on another list have the opinion that the latest Chrysler 
transmission fluid, ATF+4 I believe, will work very well in the older 
transmissions.  I still like my type F because it firms up the shifts.
