They all spark right? They must all be the same....

Agreed, one size doesn't fit all, but I do feel one can be improved, but there is a reason the engineers at the time designed the fluid to be like it is and why they used it. Like with MOST GM stuff, Dexron 6 can be used in most applications in place of Dexron 2 and 3, but not all. There is a reason. We rarely will ever know what it is. Use stock fluid, it is safe. And the long life of these trans, why try to out think the engineers who designed it? They'll whip out that calculator and smack you with it....

Its not that bad to do a tranny swap. Something is not right though It may be minor but I know something is wrong.
