[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 702885, member: 16552"] I don't see a mention of what type 'F' is [b]for[/b]. It's for use with organic material plates/clutches etc....as was used by ford. That was <1980 or so. Admittedly, this is what I've read [b]and[/b] been told by those that should know....that don't necessarily mean it's so. Some basic 'type f' info can be read [url=http://www.imperialoil.com/Canada-English/Files/Products_Lubes/IOCAENPVLESATF_TYPE_F.pdf] [b]here[/b] [/url]. Note that the fluid was specifically designed to allow clutches to 'lock up' or 'engage' quickly. Friction modifiers have been added to enhance the 'stick'. Note, 'friction modifiers' include [b]both[/b] additives that make things stick [i]more[/i] [b]and/or[/b] additives that make things stick [i]less[/i]. Ando sums it up (from the below posted link): [b]DO[/b] read the whole thread (again...linked below)! Read [url=http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5288] [b]this[/b] [/url] for a treatise on atf in the gearbox. A btw (related somewhat to ando posted), my b-in-l is a diesel mechanic. I recall him mentioning some big truck trans (manual) that had atf in it. That obviously being a crock and [b]not[/b] up to the job, they replaced it with gear oil. It wasn't a week before the trans disintegrated. They kept the atf in the next one! That relative to shear strengths and loads in gear-sets. Then, there's: (from [url=http://www.etsco.com/users/cando/fluidsm.html] [b]here[/b]. [/url]) 'The basic problem with Dexron is that it has very poor lubication qualities.' They go on to say that type f is [b]worse[/b] in that regard. Mr. fluffy bunny: I didn't see an update from you on the drn atf thread linked above regarding the $75 papers you were going to procure regarding the use of atf. Did I miss it? (From: ANSI/AGMA 6010-F97 Standard for Spur, Helical, Herringbone, and Bevel Enclosed Drives ANSI/AGMA 9005-D94 Industrial Gear Lubrication) Maybe you did [b]not[/b] come up with anything, so didn't bother? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
