im replacing my clutch, and just for clarification, im supposed to put in ATF, right?


also, how much???

 

dextronIII/mercon = atf originally requiring such

 

you could also put in what tremic and borg warner rather have which is gm syncromesh or royal purple's manual trans stuff i forget what they call it. when i put my new trans in i used atf first and it shifted normal after 2k i changed the fluid and put in gm syncromesh and that made a huge difference. shifted much smoother than the atf

 

+1 on the syncromesh. it is worth the extra money. i think the gm syncromesh is like $15-20 a quartbut i got penzoil syncromesh at pepboys and it was like $9

 

royal purple or amsoil synthetic ATF is what i use

2 3/4 quarts if you fill from the shifter hole, otherwise just pump it in til it comes out of the top full hole...since the last 1/4 qt is wasted anyways....you can pump a few squirts w/ the bottom drain plug out and flush a little out of it...or use a cheap qt of atf and flush that through it.

either way, the metal particles will be on the magnet, but you can clean it a little.

 

+1 on the royal purple synchromax.

 

i went to kragen and asked the guy to check, it called for 80 weight gear oil, so i got some valvoline 80w-90 gear oil, its shifting fine, its working great


loving the centerforce BTW
