Hey dennis, That was fast, well i should have explained "dirty". My AT oil cooler went blooie. Im pretty sure it was on a short trip. Exaust leaked into the cooling system(complete head job on both sides only just now complete)we feel that this is why the cooler failed. New cooler installed rebuilt torque converter, so most of the bad mix has been removed. AT pump turned by hand and cleaner then introduced. Then squirt bottle with fresh AT fluid was used to take in as much clean fluid as we could . More than alot of nasty stuff came out of trans. @nd gear brake band removed all seals replaced and alot of crud was removed. Hoping that AT is not too far gone!!!!! Praying to God please let it fucking work!! But anyhow is the Dex III ok to use? Thanks for the reply... Raul '89 wolfie GL
