Does anyone have some advice for tranny fluid? Any special brand or additives you've used before?
Tranny fluid is semen/duck butter (although is usually a semi-solid). There are actually all types of ejaculates involved here.
Transmission fluid is what you are wanting to know about.
Royal Purple Synchromax (part #01512, quart bottle); 4.1 quarts;
Or if you don't want to spend the money for a premium synthetic performance fluid, any Mercon/Dexron III spec ATF will work, and meet OE minimum specs.(not the new Dexron VI)
I have had Synchromax in my T56 since 2005, and love it.
Also run it in my 2004 SVT Focus Getrag 6 speed.:thumbsup:
It is quieter, has a smoother shift feel and has way better film strength and protection than any other fluid that I am aware of that is appropriate for this trans.
