<VV> What ATF?

[Joel McGregor]

As someone that rebuilt transmissions for years and knows a guy that used to write manuals & do research for ATRA - I use Dex VI in everything  (friend agrees).  I've never seen a fluid that would make a transmission slip.  The different properties would make the shift feel different if it wasn't designed for that particular oil but that's it.  B&M used to recommend type F for everything.
I use VI in everything from TH250s to my wife's Saturn.  All of my running Corvairs have manual transmissions so I haven't run it in a Corvair yet but I will if I ever drive an auto.
I also change it every 3000 miles.  That's much less trouble than rebuilding the transmission.

Okay, we had so much fun with the discussion about transsexual lube, what ATF do you use? I am wondering if we might be running into the same issue with ATF that is compatible with our PGs.
