Running a basically stock 727 behind a stock 440 in a 70 Charger R/T. Old man bought this one new, so it will not see abuse. Thanks all.

Seems like rule of thumb is:
High dollar trans, go expensive synthetic, not like you'll have to keep adding unless it leaks.

regular stock type overhaul:name brand Dexron

My .02, years ago I ran across a magnetic in-line filter made in Australia,(in the trans cooler lines) thru NAPA, also had a larger one for power steering.
On some of my cars, I installed thinking you could basically change that one and leave the pan on for awhile?
I also bought 5 gals of pennzoil dexron from amazon free freight to hawaii for $10 less than our garage price here at Oreillys.
Hope this helps,
Case


I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"

I thought conventional wisdom around here was to use Type F. That's what I've been using, no problems (other than some leakage).

I use the Mopar ATF+ 4. I was a Dodge tech and have tons of that fluid and it works fine for me as I use it in all my cars including my 63. Ron

I asked after dropping $1400 on my PA racing trans and they told me NOT to use any syntho or type "F" Said to use Dextron, so that's what's in it.
