Ok" Im fixin to replace the lockup solinoid in my trans" Should I go with type F fluid fill or stick with the Dextron 2? Problem: Shifts really good normal driving" kinda slides threw the gears at WOT" Not really slipping just dont have a firm shift.
Currently Im using Dextron 2 & its over full by 1 qt of type F.
Im looking for durability.

Actually,this was discussed at great length elsewhere[you know where],in the trans section.Bruce Toelle and some of the guys were throwing it around.
Of course you could always try Dextrose 4.

Lower fat content you know.

How would Steve respond to these answers?-----*g*--- Whatever that means" Gees'

Personally I use Type F and that's what the local trans guru told me to use. Jeff Harrington uses it in his 9.80's car which runs in OD and has had no problems in over 4 years.

Not to cloud the water, but I would use whatever your trans guy says, if the trans guy is Hydramatic (GM) then I would use what they suggest D3.

On another note, I've been through 3 engine builders in the last 7 years and each one said to use a different motor oil. (Kendall, Redline, Mobil 1) So maybe it's just personal preference.

I use Type F but I think Dexwhatever is okay as well.

I have a deep trans pan that needs about 10 quarts. Should I put in 5 quarts of mobil 1 synthetic and 5 quarts of type F? Or just 10 quarts of type F since its cheaper than the Mobil 1 synthetic($6/qt)?

I would not mix them and I would be sure that the Mobil 1 has worked well in a number of other 200 r4s before I used it.

I have noticed it is getting harder to find name brand Type F's around here and would have no problem with Dexron as I know it works okay, too.

I'll go with Dexron III then. How much do you guys pay for Dexron III per quart regardless of the brand? I saw at Target a Valvoline brand Dexron III for $1.89 which sounds like a reasonable price. What do you think?
