transmission fluid
Hi , i just changed my transmission fluid as the gear change was very slow and seemed to be slipping i used the method of removing bottom oil cooler pipe and flushing out old brown smelly fluid ,, it seemes much better since change so thanks to all the posts here that helped soo much .
Only thing im not sure about is the fluid i used that i got from my local motor factor !!! it is called silver hook autmatic transmission fluid it says it exceeds specifications (Ford M2C 33G) Dextron IID & R SHT5 . its lookes the right colour a nice reddy pink . Has any one heard of this make and will it be ok for prolonged use ??? many thanks Mike . |

A reasonably priced fully synthetic ATF from CARLUBE (ATFU) meets the the Texaco N402 specification and is probably more available. It does actually mention the N402 on its packaging too.
