QUOTE: No MEP1 I’m not being a smartarse. I asked this question because different ATF fluid has different additives and properties. Using Dexron in a transmission that calls for another type ATF will make the seals leak. I didn’t want to run the risk of ruining the seals in the Cat pump by using the wrong ATF. But since you don’t seem to really know we’ll stick to what we’ve been using and not try some secret sauce or do any lubrication experiments.
Kevin James I have 2 Jeeps and you are correct. They are automatics and require (I think ATF 3 or ATF 4 if that's the number but I don't have my manual with me. Anything else will screw it up).
However if you cross a deep stream and get water in that transmission you had better (and very quickly) drop the pan and drain ALL the fluid or you will have a ruined transmission......about $3,200. bucks.
So my question to MEP (and please don't call me a smart-ass!) regarding part transmission fluid in a pump then what affect would the transmission fluid do for the pump and what does it do for the moisture or water in the pump?
