Geez John what happened? I didn't think you abused the T/A.

I've always heard not to use synthetic ATF. Yank even recommends the conventional stuff with their converters.

I just went with some standard dextron3/mercon conventional fluild. I think it was valvoline if I remember right. So far so good!

From Yank's website: "We recommend a good name brand ATF in either a Dextron III or a Type F. We do not recommend any type of Synthetic fluid at all. Please use a high capacity transmission cooler."
