I JUST changed the fluid and used valvoline high mileage atf non syn. The tranny is pretty messed up and I havnt had it to the shop yet, just wondering what you guys recommend for a fluid to help the tranny last a Little longer before I can get it in the shop.the tranny makes noise cruising in gear and wondering if the Redline fluid could quiet the tranny down. Once the trans is fixed I HOPE just a clutch or slave it will see track time.
