What fluid does SC put in there builds now? My trans was built 3 weeks ago, don't want to mix up fluids if possible.

There is nothing wrong with Chrysler fluid. TranSynd is better as is Mobil Delvac TES 295. Right now my choice is Mobil since I can't find Citgo.

Well after repeated calls to suncoast, with no return calls. I get on the phone with someone and he says they use dex 3. But can't confirm anything he says. So I guess George is the only person there that knows what's going on. (He was gone when i finally got thru on Friday).

My gasket between the trans and transfer case was leaking. They didn't properly prep the mating surfaces. There was a large chunk of the old gasket still stuck on the transfer case mating flange, with the new gasket just thrown over the top of it.

I've been calling about this for 3 weeks, they didn't seem to give a damn. I'll be calling Monday morning. This is very frustrating to me. I needed to know what fluid to add back to my trans since its lost about 3 quarts.... I put dex3 in to top it off. I'll will be uber pissed if it has atf 4 in it and I mixed up fluids in my brand new trans. Remember I've been calling for 3 weeks leaving messages.

Again I believe sc builds the finest products, but this has left a very bad taste in my mouth. It's time to get it together.

I spoke with George several times the last few weeks. He told me very clearly he uses ATF4 by Kendall. Go easy on the Guys at Suncoast. They have an unusual work load right now with the move. Get a hold of Andrew if you're having trouble. He gives a damn & if you pm him he'll take care of you.
