Gotta drop the pan and replace the internal harness so I am gonna obviously need new fluid. Been reading about JD hygraurd vs regular ATF, and was wondering if something like this is an acceptable alternative to JD?

Worth it over standard atf stuff?

I got some to put in my 80. Its thicker than standard atf, which will tighten the converter, which will generate a little less heat. Gonna try it out soon. At roughly 2.16 a quart including tax, its worth a shot compared to regular atf.

Hey jake, what type/brand fluid do you recommend on your street built 80e?

Kinda curious as well on a recommendation.

I wanna do the work this week and do not mind buying either fluid just want to get whats better.

Regular Dexron type fluid is what I typically recommend. There is no need for fancy fluid for most combos. I recommend the Hygard type fluid for turbo combos that will be spooling on the brake for more than 2-3 seconds.

Thats what I have

The trans has regular dex fluid in it now, is there a danger to switching to hygard?

Is there any truth to it tightening up a loose converter?

Yea the regular viscocity hygard will tighten up the converter 200-300rpms.

If it's thicker will it go through a regular filter without starvation issues?
