Curious question - transmission fluid

[rwk]

This is some commercial/fleet fluid,universal ATF in nature, I have some 20 wt, comes in 6 gal pails, use in my ps also. Trans fluid is basically a hyd. oil with different addatives like type 4 says, think wet brake compatibility being the key here, I use Mobilefluid 424 also, Cant recall the cost, but better then buying qts at autoparts store.

As typ4 says about tractor Hydraulic fluid. I had a 67 Greyhound Bus that I converted to a MH. The engine was a Detroit 8V71, converted the manual transmission to an Allison V730, IIRC the trans. fluid recommended was Dexron. I blew a hose and lost most all trans fluid, A TSC store was close by so I bought 15 gallons of tractor hydraulic fluid, thinking I would change it when I got home. To my surprise, the trans seemed to run a lot cooler than with the ATF. Checking the temp between the two, the TSC HYD. fluid ran 80* cooler. I did 14 bus change over from manual to V730 auto, using the TSC tractor Hyd. fluid. Never a recall on any of them. The shifting seemed to be quicker and smoother.
@typ4 , what does your SIL(?) use in his?

I would say, if you want to flush any Auto trans, do it this way. http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?29296-Flushing-a-E4OD-or-4R100
That should work on any Auto trans using the recommended fluid and amount. Flushes the TC if it don't have the drain plug in it.

GM on some trans cannot be added to or changed.

Never a recall on any of them.

Correction on one of the converted trans.
A guy from SC refused to stop and tighten a hose fitting that was inadvertently not tightened, came loose in Kentucky (after a 200 mile run), he called and said it was leaking, told him just to tighten it, he refused to stop at a truck repair and have it tightened. End results was he burned up the clutches. *** is the matter with some people. Sent me a bill for $6000 for an overhaul, never paid that.
