dextron 3 buy from supersheep 5 liter . ps why do you need to change it or is ilt leaking! You know you mesure trans fluid with engine running.

Hey thanks for that. I was just wanting to top it up as i think its leaking. It's struggling to go into reverse and drive, so I thought id first try topping it up before spending money taking it to a mechanic. No, I didn't know you checked it while it's running. I do now! lol thanks very much. Any other advice would be appreciated.

dont take it to mechanicmesure the fluid on stick with engine on and check its colour should be nice redwine red colour . if its brown its burned and schould be changed. you also have to do the transfliter i guesseven a 88 should have that and sump gasket . automatic transmission specialist rebuilding place is where i would take it for a service.probably be 260$ to 300$ for the job.

also toping up if its low you only need 1 liter with the special tube and only put a small amount in topping up automatic does not take mutch mesure again and top some more. usually there is a hot and cold mark on dipstick.
