Re: Transmission Fluid (35th)
Well lets see, is Dad's a 35th as well or is that Dad's car? You posted in C4 so I would guess Dad has a C4? So that narrows it down to 84 to 96, but still need to know what trans is in Dads car and what year? :jester

You can use plain ol' tranny fluid. I WOULD, however, recommend using MOBIL 1 sythetic ATF ... because it can withstand much higher temperatures before it starts to bubble up (which causes problems).
If you're going to just drop the pan and change the filter as well, then I THINK you're only going to be able to replace something like 5 qt's of it (out of around 10-12 i think .. can't remember). What i did was put 5 qt's of Mobil 1 ATF in to help balance it out. I did check the dip stick later on and noticed no bubbles after that.

Re: Transmission Fluid (35th)
When I changed the fluid and filter I installed a drain plug. I drove it a few times, drained it and refilled it. This gets more fresh fluid in the tranny and converter without paying to have it flushed.

What's it mean when the fluid starts to bubble? What bad things can happen?

Re: Transmission Fluid (Glock'94)
Thank guys. I got Dad's done I'll be doing mine soon. Didn't think it would take as long as it did, but if he had went 2 a dealer and got it done with their hourly rate, he would have been :mad and :cuss . That's my 35th he has a Collectors Edition. :cheers: :seeya
