hey what kind ofATF should i run in a Goerend tranny??? i want to run synthetic but don't really know what kind to run i was thinking royal purple, amsoil, or the like any ideas or links to good cheaper trans fluid for my new dave tranny......also he (dave) recomends dexIII and the additive he includes

 

I would do what he recommends. DTT also recommends the same in theirs. NADP recommends ATF+4.

 

i have amsoil in mine and it does fine and goerend supports it and amsoil is one of the best.

 

i've heard valvoline as a common name so i think i might go that route

 

Valvoline what? They make every type.

 

yeah and every place carries the stuff so why not.

 

When i got my trans i called dave to ask him what fluid he reccomended. He said to run any brand i wanted, just be sure to run the same fluid in it everytime i change it. I just went with ATF +4.

 

same thing he told me i just chose to go with amsoil, dont have to change so often and my dad is a dealer

 

I've been using Dex III plus two tubes of LubeGard for 233k trouble free.
99¢/qt for the Dex by the case at Costco.

 

what brand is $0.99 a qt at costco

 

Don't know about the Goerend tranny but I'm gonna use Supertech ATF+4 in my stocker for the next change. Think it runs $3.25/quart or so. Supposed to be the same...

 

Why would you use anything else except what the builder says to use? Why would you ask other people? Unless you are asking who makes a good "dexIII". That would be Valvoline.

 

Valvoline.

 

oh, might have to switch to that then.

That's Lubeguard black right? Is it 2 tubes for the full 12 quart change?

 

I was at first asking weather or not to use synthetic tranny fluid over the normal stuff but then got a responce from the builder that reg. dex III was all that was needed. So when I found that out i tried to lean toward what is a good brand of reg. dex III
