I did not know any of that. I guess we learn something everyday. Thanks for the explanation man. I guess we'll find out how much damage this stuff does when I can no longer shift it. I wouldn't care much if it did blow up. Gives me a reason to buy a built trans.

I mean who knows how long it would even take to mess up the liner, but i decided just stick with the ATF cause my wallet cant afford to find out right now especially considering the mileage on my t45.
