5 speed auto...tranny fluid

[Tiger]

Black crud... very very dirty tranny oil. Disgusting. I drained it to get my valve body rebuilt by Kirt... since it practically drained itself nearly the full capacity... I then put in all new fluid and filter.

I would do multiple drain and refill to dilute as much of old stuff with new since you are not likely to pull out valve body. 3 times will do and third time change the filter.

Baileydog,

Here's a link to the change procedure:

I'm also using Pennzoil Multivehicle ATF. No problem so far.

great write up on that link,
what is the $$ difference between the pennzoil Vs. the reccomended fluid?

I ordered it online thru Ace Harware, of all places. 12 pack for $33.00
delivered to the closest Ace place.

Pep Boys has them too. Yep... like $3 a bottle compared to $35 a quart for Shell LA263something...
