RE: B&M Trickshift
The bottle says that it will mix with my existing tranny fluid and be just fine, I'll look into draining my converter. If it requires pulling the tranny ain't no way in hell i'm draining it.
yes the convertor must come out......that stuff can be mixed with what's in the convertor..just your not going to get the benifits of it

RE: B&M Trickshift
My repair manual claims that most AOD tranny's have drains on the converter. I'll take a look at it, but let's say I get the converter drained, how much of a difference is this stuff going to make combined with the shift kit that's going in? I would say probably a noteable diff. without the shift kit, but with it I don't think that I'll notice the diff. tranny fluid if ya know what I mean.

RE: B&M Trickshift
Ya I agree with you on that for it being around for a while, my dad used it on his 68 'maro RS/SS, that was his only automatic that he had owned lol. I'll test this stuff out and see how it does.

RE: B&M Trickshift
Quote straight from the bottle "works with other ATF fluids..." My dad said tonight that the torque converter probably has a drain on it and a lot of people miss it because it's recessed into the converter.
