    I use royal purple synthetic Dexron III, about 3 or 4 bux a quart, you will need 4 when you change the filter out. Got my filter and gasket from BMAparts.

    You might want to contact Kirt about the reverse issue you have and see what he says about it too.

    I am looking for an oil pan gasket and a filter. I will drop the pan to change the filter and fluid this weekend.

    Thanks, Jeff and all replys. Will check with Kirt if the reserve engage jerk is normal.

    Another quick question, I learn that only ~50% of original fluid will come out. Can I just add the royal purple systhetic dexron III (mix with original fluid) into the system? Will this cause any issue?
