i went with the oreilly brand cause I had some sitting around that I would never use, no probs with it so far, seems to shift smoother than what it did with the old fluid.

Chang mind mine, go with pennzoil syncromesh ( $7 quart at auto zone ), dex 3 fluid seem dont do too well when it getting really hot, I have second gear lighly grind when it really hot 100+ out side.
