ATF

[blankville]

Hi Folks, was wondering if someone could give me some advice regarding ATF for my bus.

Im renewing the gasket on the automatic gearbox as its leaky and want to top up with the right fluid. I have a 5l can of ATF MV in the garage-it has GM D2 AND D3 on it-will this be usable?

will get some plain Dexron 3 if need be, i dont want to knacker the box so any pointers would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

contact the fluid's manufacturer and ask them if it's suitable for a VW 090 auto box and tell them the vehicle their tech team should be able to say yeah or neah

Thanks Aiden, i have just phoned them-, they advised me to not use it and opt for Dexron 2 instead, growing tired and a bit confused of this now...and paranoid of bursting the box...

cheers

It's not difficult ... Haynes page 0.16

Automatic transmission fluid ..... Dexron (Registered Trademark) type ATF

Thanks- i didnt think it would be difficult,until all the different opinions started to confuse me a bit... I know its Dexron that i should be putting in but wanted to check that the stuff i had was maybe usable for the job

cheers
