Nice Ride Dude!

Use a Dexron III compatible fluid.

I prefer to use Royal Purple if I am installing a synthetic fluid.

Thanks man, She's been mine for about 3 years, can't wait to get it running. So far I havent heard good things about synthetic, does it really cause more wear? whats the advantage to synthetic?

Synthetic does not cause more wear... or at least I've never heard of it.

The one thing I have noticed is that the fluid I mentioned appears to provide for a cooler running tranny. By as much as 7-10 deg., in my experience.
