Dexron 2 is what ye put in yer steerin' box.

 

[landy10]

its difficult to steer wi your gearbox

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

no it int - low gear, get the back to break out and just steer into the drift.

 

[boydy1989]

dextron is different to m2c33

 

[Griffdowg]

The development of the Ford Automatic Transmission Fluid from specification M2C33-B, through M2C33-D, to the new M2C33-F specification is traced. M2C33-F fluids are formulated to provide greater resistance to the harmful effects of oxidation, consistent friction characteristics, better anti-wear performance, and improved silicone seal compatibility. Requirements of the new specification and reasons for the change are discussed. Some experiences with the ""fill-for-life"" policy over the years from 1960-1967 are cited.


APPROVALS GENERAL MOTOR DEXRONâ III F-30336
FORD MERCONâ M 950805 and M 941108
SPECIFICATIONS ALLISON C4-23472696, CATERPILLAR TO-2, VOITH
More fluid at low temperature than Dexron IIE oils (2000 mPa.s maximum at -20°C instead of
3000), which allows an easier gear changing when cold.
Higher oxidation resistance than Dexron IIE standard.
Oil film stability under high temperature.
Anti-wear, Anti-corrosion, Anti-foam.
MOTUL DEXRON III is the latest evolution of DEXRON specification :
Can be used (and mixed) for applications in which "DEXRON" , "B DEXRON" , "DEXRON II
D", "DEXRON IIE", or "DEXRON III" is required.
Oil change : according to manufacturers’recommendations and to be adapted according to
your own use.

It can be a critical difference, esp with high speed bits like gearboxes, like shear properties of the colecules, foaming, especially for boxes with weak synchro anyway.

ANORAK ALERT ANORAK ALERT

WHAOOOOOOO WAHOOOOOO!!!

Wanna yarkshire puddin ?

 

[boydy1989]

Im not an anorak i can use google.









And im obviously NOT studying an engineering degree... Ahem... And ive already acepted a yarkshire pud, thanks! Whos are the best though?

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

Grippas gorra anorak - burrits a bit soggy at the mo

Whos are the best though?

LOOOK AT THE FOOOKIN PIKSCHURS FFS !

Students eh !

 

[Griffdowg]
