Re: transmission fluid... what type?
No pissing match intended, just speaking from my experience. I used to rebuild trannys at transmision shop in Mesa Arizona for a living, now that was a while back, A&B transmission, Larry ? was the owner, those guys still around ?? Anyway, I rebuild my own turbo 350 there, and yes I put type F in it, worked great until I took a 1000 mile trip with it, and wiped out the bushing between the front drum and the pump. Now I had even installed a wider heavy duty bushing in there during the rebuild. Turbo 350's like to wear out there anyway, but with a fresh overhaul and less than 5000 miles on the trans, I think the long hot extended drive and the type F took out that bushing. After rebuilding it again and using Dexon, it never had any more problems. Just never trusted running type F again in a GM tranny. I've rebuild many since then, and have always just run what it is "supposed" to have.
