<VV> ATF and Sticking Blocker Rings

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

This discussion of ATF in our transmissions is a little off the mark and worrisome.  As an aid to making the  blocking ring problem go away I agree, but only as an additive.  ATF is fine in transmissions with cross-cut gears like FWD, but (unless the formulations have changed drastically) it doesn't have the shear wear protections necessary for our beveled gears.  Or have formulations for ATF changed so much in the last few years?
