Well Im pulling out the tranny this weekend and will be swaping out the flexplate and stall. I bought a TCI flexplate, Yank ss3600 stall, B&M supercooler, tranny guage and relocation brackets for my rear control arms(lowered vehicle). As I went into advanced autoparts, I noticed B&M tranny fluid, non synthetic of course, but it doesn't say anything about being Dexron III compatible and its quite expensive. I have a fully beefed tranny and really don't want to make the mistake when it comes to tranny fluid... Someone lead me in the right direction, product wise.

 

Just use regular old fluid.

I'm not a fan of trick shift......or synthetic atf's

 

FYI: Dexron VI is out and will eventually replace Dexron III.... And its synthetic.. It is compatible....

I have heard mixed reviews with B&M........

 

B&M trans oil is a Ford type "F" fluid. "DO NOT" use it in any 1978 & up GM unit. It can be very detrimental (and usually is) on the 700R4/4L60E transmission.

 

We only use/suggest regular Dexron III/ Mercon fluid in ALL of our transmissions. DEFINITELY DO NOT add any additives, either.

Regular old tranny fluid goes in all of mine. Any name brand will do, IMHO.
