I'm thinking Redline in the diffys and ATF?

What's the word here?

Are you thinking a "drain and fill" in your driveway? Or a complete flush?

If you do a drain and fill, stick with whatever's in it. You'll only drop 6 of the 10 quarts of current fluid with a standard drain and fill. With a complete T-Tech flush, use what makes you feel good. I'm not sold on the whole synth thing, but others are. If it gives you peace of mind, use it. Older trannies may begin to leak as a result of synth, since the older the tranny, the more expansion and contraction the seals have seen and the lower viscosity of the synth may seep through (notice the liberal use of the word "may"). You may be just as well off peace of mind-wise and money-wise, to simply T-tech the tranny every 60K or so miles.

Those are just my thoughts. Others WILL differ. Void where prohibited. Do not fold, staple or mutilate. Do not store at temperatures below 32 degrees F. Do not remove this tag under threat of imprisonment . . . . . .
