What is the best transmission oil to use? How about additives? I am running the Torque Flight on a 440.
How much will I need to replace the seal on the pan?Dexron III. You can buy it at most parts stores or Farm Fleet in your area. I see there is a store in Rosedale.
Dex III is for vehicles 2005 and older.
1973 Monaco with stock pan took 1.4 gallonsHow much will I need to replace the seal on the pan?
More info please. How long have you had the car and have you ever added ATF before? Some ATF does not play well with others.What is the best transmission oil to use? How about additives? I am running the Torque Flight on a 440.
I thought that one can use type F and it actually improves shift firmness.More info please. How long have you had the car and have you ever added ATF before? Some ATF does not play well with others.
You should be ok with DexIII however if you can find out what fluid is in it now and match it that is always best. Try not to mix types.
When I rebuild transmissions I always ask the guy is he has a preference on fluid and tell him to stick to it. If they don't have a preference and it is a stock rebuild I recommend DEXIII.
I use type F in all race transmissions.I thought that one can use type F and it actually improves shift firmness.
When you check, look at the pan gasket and the shifter seal. Two very likely candidates.Thank you guys, this is more information than I was expecting. This transmission was in the car when I bought it. I have no idea the oil that is in it. All I know, I keep losing T Oil. I will have it up on a lift to see if the o rings are working. You guys are the best. I only hope I can pay it back! Thank you.
So why does the stipdick on my 92 Dakota read "use ATF +3" (which was superseded by ATF +4).Dexron III. You can buy it at most parts stores or Farm Fleet in your area. I see there is a store in Rosedale.

Kendall ATF+3™ is specifically designed for use in automatic transmissions and transaxles in most Chrysler vehicles built from 1988 through 1999 and some later models. It is formulated to provide optimum performance in Chrysler automatic transmissions equipped with lock-up torque converters. ATF+3™ is recommended for service fill in Chrysler automatic transmissions and transaxles where Mopar ATF+3™, ATF+2™ or ATF-Plus™ fluids are specified.So why does the stipdick on my 92 Dakota read "use ATF +3" (which was superseded by ATF +4).
