what type of tranny fluid in the tremec?

[eliaseje]

I was just wandering what type of tranny fluid do I put in my tremec? do I still use Dexcron III Automatic tranny fluid like I did in my T-5?

They recomend that GM syncromesh stuff. Built ford tuff with GM stuff...

like already stated 3qts of GM syncromesh, go right to your local GM and expect to pay $7-$10 a qt. dont mess with pennzoil crap that im sure someone on here will recommend

I can usually find the stuff in the local autozones.

Tremec does say you can use either or, but the Synchromesh will definitely make a difference.

I emailed Tremec a week ago about which fluid to use, because I was interested in Red Line synthetics. Here's what they said:

"Our recommended fluid for the TR3550 family is GM synchromesh. Due to
the materials internally, we have not tested any other fluids. "

when i bought my tremec from holcomb i told them that i wanted the recommended fluid for the tko 500 and they sent me royal purple synchromax tranny fluid. so thats what im gonna stick with...and if it hurts it than holcomb is gonna be givin me a new one

just go to your local GM dealer and tell them you need 3qts of syncromesh, yup its that easy pennzoil DOES make syncromesh but im not convinced its the same stuff, so get it at your local dealer
