I have a 1971 Southwind and am changing the transmission fluid. What type of fluid do you use in the Velvet drive? I did see Type A in the service manual but am wondering if people are using the newer types.
Thanks for the help. Greg |

Greg,
Dexron/Mercon. Pretty common. The old type A isn't around anymore or at least real hard to find. The new stuff is better anyway. Do not put any additives in the trans. It's not a automotive automatic!! Welcome to CCfan. How about some pictures?? Get some submitted for the diaries section as well. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
