I have purchased an '86 weekender and am going through trying to straighten things out. I found in the rear cabinets 2 almost empty bottles of power steering fluid. I read that the PS uses ATF and not PS fluid. Is this really bad? Is my PS toasted now? THe PS seems to be working fine at the moment, though I have not driven it very much. Any suggestions for purging and flushing it to get it back to ATF like it belongs? I do have the bentley manual and have read the procedure for filling the system, but wonder the best way to empty it and flush it. Thanks, Edward |
