I have the original type H fluid that came in my 84 C5 trans and have never had any problems.

If the Haynes book is accurate, and it looks like it's turning out to be, Type H is used in the manual trannys, not the autos.

I was just pointing out that my 84 T-bird ,that I bought new, has never had the transmission fluid changed. The C3 and AOD came with Dexron II. The C5 (three speed automatic) came with Type H.

The shop manual says: Fluid used with C5 automatic transmission contains a detergent that retains particles in suspension that are gererated during normal transmission use.

Type H is no longer available. Don't know if it was used in any manuals. In 84 the T5 used Dexron II Series D (whatever that is).

Learn something new everyday. Thanks softtouch.

Now, because I already learned something new today, does this mean I still have to go to class? :hick:
