If Im way off base with this question, please forgive me.... Does the type of tranny fluid play any part in the clutch setting? In other words does Type F make the clutches act as if they are set up tighter than if you use Dexron or something else?

I think it was Jim @ ATI that told me to run a good brand type F in my ATI trans & converter also. I used the B&M trans fluid it is a type F and not much more than the others and they sell it at Advance.

You are correct,Mr.P.,... Type f is supposed to make the clutches slip less,due to the lack of additives that promote a little slip while applying,so it might seem like the clutches are set up a little tighter. Not sure if that helps or not?? Keith

That is what I was looking for, that helps a ton!!
So what fluid would make the clutches act the loosest?
Thanks
