Automotive fluids
Reply #24 –
Once again i am not an AUTO TRANNY GUY!!! But we do build Auto tranny cars in the shop. We relie on our local builder for advice and type of fluid to use. I called Jim at Performance Trannys and he explained to me that the AOD is not an electronic TRANNY. The AODE is an electronic tranny. So he recommends Trick Shift for this transmission. Now Trick Shift is basically TYPE F with 10% more friction modifiers. Once again i am only going by my builder. I am a 6 Speeder GUY!!!
Here is what B&M SAYS!!!
Trick Shift was originally developed by B&M for racing applications. It’s become so successful that it’s the most popular high performance fluid on the street also! Not an additive, this is the best performance ATF available! A scientific blend of foam inhibitors, pressure agents and shift modifiers that will provide extended transmission life and drastically improved shift feel. Trick Shift is the easiest way to measurably improve the transmission performance of your vehicle. Trick Shift works with all automatic transmissions* when a firmer shift is desired. ‘Pour in Performance’ is not just a catchy phrase - it’s reality! It can be mixed with stock-type transmission fluids, however to attain maximum improvement you should use Trick Shift exclusively. Ideal for towing, light trucks and RV applications as well as racing. Not recommended for electronic controlled transmissions.
