Yeah... well let's not forget he said he worked for AAMCO !...

When was the last time you got good advice for your transmission from them
???

He didn't read the REST of the memo which instructed them to put a handfull
of metal filings, and a quart of brake fluid in the customers trans !!!

Years ago, '81-'83, during my college days, I can remember inserts in with
shift kits, as well as other trans parts, concerning the use of the proper
fluid after installation of the parts. Type F was generally specified as the
new proper fluid even for GM transmissions. The parts kits even contained
tags that were to be attached to the dipstick.

I haven't rebuilt an automatic since then (and I'd rather not), so I don't
have any idea what goes on nowadays with them.

IIRC, somewhere around the late 70s/early 80s Ford started specing
Dexron/Mercon...... these days, it should be written on the stick whether
the spec is for Mercon, Mercon V or Mercon SP....
