jeepman380 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Why do you use just Type F ATF? All automatic trannys are wet clutches so I don't see why Type F is the only one that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type F is doesn't, and lets the clutch hook up good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use type F in my 66 Chevelle. I was told however that if you have been using regular oil in your trans to keep using it until you change your clutch. Other wise it will prematurely fry the clutch when you change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
