[QUOTE="jeromebill7718, post: 4090590, member: 11307"] I think that changing your ATF is just going to make things worse, Unless you change it on a regular basis to prevent the lose fibers from the clutch disks from wearing down the fibbers that are on the clutch disks then changing the ATF would make things worse. The lose fibers from the clutch disks are now acting as a thickener and changing the ATF would probbbably cause ore slippage. It is better to add a thicker ATF like the type ford uses. Do not use the stuff for manual transmissions unless you are out in ye middle of nowhere and the transmission will not go no matter how hig you rev it. If you do change it AND IT GETS EVEN WORSE then just drain the new ATF and add some additives and some Ford ATF Supertech type F or Mercron Dextron should work. Use the cheapest ford ATF you can find. The only reason I say ford is because their ATF is thicker. look on some racing forums. ATF is basiclly mineral oil or hydraulic fluid. The major difference is viscosity. I don't think increasing the viscosity will blow your transmission. That usually only happens when the RPM's are really high. Increasing the viscosity in motor oil is different because you need to lubricate the heads and that is donr by bringing the oil from the bottom to the top via pushrods and holes in the piston connecting rods etc. Transmissions work in a horizontal axis [/QUOTE]
