Who is using tractor fluid in there trans?
Who is using tractor fluid in there trans? I know this makes the converter couple better on the big end, does it take away flash on the low end? my converter is to tight and I am running 90 % tractor fluid with only 10 % atf for the coloring.
my converter needs more stall to it and was wondering wil it gain much by swapping to atf?
I am going to try it before pulling it but hate to spend $50 or so in fluid just to find what others may have already tested.
Thanks for any help you can give in the matter.
this is in my 64 Nova, 347 ls1 with fuel injection using a 75 mm truck intake ,239/243 .612 int .612 ex 112lsa + 2 advance
I am seeing 4400 on my efi data log and need more. Crossing the traps at 124.4 mph at 6300 rpms but was crossing at 6300 when i was only making 119 mph.
4.11 gears with 31x13x15 et drag slicks , race weight 2660 lbs

from what i read and the people ive talked with, certain weight tractor fluids can increase or decrease your stall(flash) speed, depending on the weight.
several threads over on yellowbullet that are very helpful.
im thinking of switching myself.

is it supposed to be non flamable? i saw a car catch on fire at the track Sat. from a ruptured trans line, not sure if tractor fluid would have prevented it
when i got my old school switch/pitch 400 converter, they rec a spec. type tractor fluid(John Deer?)

i hate to loose any efficiency up top but I need to see how it responds flashing so I will know if it is worth restalling.
If I restall after , I may go enough to compinsate for useing tractor fluid. I think the trans likes it.
