ATF (automatic transmission fluid) is different than power steering fluid. If the book calls for ATF, use ATF only. Many cars, over the years, have used ATF in their power steering systems; they're just designed that way. -Mike Moery Anchorage, AK --------------- ||E[__] [__]|[_]\ | =======| - || * * * *( o )-------( o )= 'Ol Bessie '82TD Westy

When I changed my pump today, it definitely has ATF in it, reddish brown, nutty smell. Is there any difference between ATF and P/S fluid? I bought P/S fluid, and just need to top up/bleed the system. tx, bmc :) "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...." |
