Any recommendations on trans fluid?
I'm tossing in a converter here soon and was seeing if there are any brands of trans fluid that are more preferable for our cars then others. I have a 01 TA.
Thanks!

There's clutches and there's clutches. The ones in the
planetaries (and the band) are different than the one
in the converter. Aftermarket converters use a variety
of materials systems that GM doesn't have any say
about, so you need to look at what satisfies -both-
vendors' recommendations. You're maximally safe with
a name brand Dexron-III straight ATF. What you can
or can't get away with, in pursuit of some or other
"feature", you really don't want to discover on your
own. Not all adventures have happy endings.
