Default What Trans fluid do you use?

I am going to be changing my trans fluid this week and want to know what you guys use?

My car is NOT STOCK, 700hp and an RPM Level 6 Trans with a 3200 Yank!

I drive my car on weekends only and when I do drive it, I'm not very gentile with it.

What are the top trans fluids for extreme, hard driving?

Default Trans Fluid

check out 3 options from Amsoil and discuss with your builder

1 Super Shift Synthetic Racing Fluid product code ART
THIS IS A TYPE F fluid which can handle the heat but is Very Grabby
Your tranny will last longer (less slippage & wear)

I have 2 clients using very happy 383vett norcal forum
Low 10 sec bracket car and 1200 horse 1400 torque
4wd dodge diesel high 8 sec.

2 Torque Drive product code ATD this is Heavy Duty Anti Shear
Dex 3 type fluid that would handle the heat for the stall and the
Power no problem not as Grabby.

3 Universal ATF product code ATF another dex 3 compatible fluid
That would work as well
