Hi Christy,
Well, that is very interesting. Did you need to drain the old fluid
and replace? I ask because the Powerglide fluid I have is bright red
and would normally not need replacing. I now feel symptoms that since
I did not drain the old fluid, and after the Chemtool B-12 has started
to evaporate, the shifting is getting sluggish again.
As much as I love Summit Racing, the shipping kills me for orders less
than $99. I just searched Amazon and I can order the ATP AT-205
Re-Seal from them for $11.74 plus tax and free shipping for my Amazon
Prime. If I do not need to replace all the Powerglide fluid, that is a
less expensive approach.
Thanks for the info.
Larry
