Re: [DiRT] O/D fixed! WOO-HOO!!
Yup, works fine, actually better IMO than atf3/4 etc. But keep in mind
this is for a non-electric trans, so I don`t have to worry about any
clutch fill volumes/rates. I find it`s a bit “tighter” than Mopar fluid
and makes for a slightly firmer shift. I have heard of problems when
used in RE units, and I have seen 1st hand probs at work when it`s used
in the a604, but in an old school hydraulic unit it works great.
Cheers,
