Thats not exactly what I meant, but works just the same. :hehe:

Purple = ATS, and they dont have the best rep with Allisons
Oh nope sure haven't :/ I mean the trans was built then blown up and then I replaced broken parts and left it exactly how it was when originally built just figuring I'm using pinion bearings from one trans and ring and sun gears from a different trans so I would guess the miss matching wear patterns may be it but honestly I don't know.
But sure looks pretty haha
:gayflag::gay:
That's the point haha. The guy wanted a gay looking trans so I aimed for pink but couldn't be found so purple was next best choice haha
Says the guy who's name is attached to the LAVENDER Precision ML converter. :hehe: I always wondered WTF you were thinking by ok'ing that color.
BTW, mine is still working just fine. 10 years.
Dex 3, absolutely.
Now dex 3 for the 5 speeds or for the 6speeds? Look at the picture I posted in last comment it's a image of a factory gm document that states dex 6 is to update anything with dex 3 prior requirements.
^^^^^
Just remember that Dex 3 will need to be changed more often under severe usage as the addative package will burn away quicker. You may not be able to see this as the fluid will remain red and smell good, but it may not be doing its job.
What's weird is gm states dex6 is 100% improved with the fluids friction stability. I'm confused lol
Nope...

And heres a quote from Mike L
"I like Dex 3. I do not like Dex 6 as it was never tested in a cold room and destroyed quite a few Alli's in Canada a few years ago. Next they found Dex 6 was not compatible with the Allison Viton front seal and Allison had to change the compound. Dex 6 was attacking the front seal and causing leaks. What other surprises are we going to see with Dex 6?
I do not blame Allison for not approving Dex 6 and I wouldn't flush my toilet with it."
What do you consider severe application or usage? I daily drive mine but it's pretty fun to get on it. We talking under 10k or over 10k miles. Just curious what kind of service intervals would be good for the fluid to be swapped.
