1958 Jetaway Trans

What fluid should you put in a newly rebuilt Jetaway. I was told that the Dexron 1V will break down some internals. Too much info flying around now adays keeping everyone confused.

Agreed, but Dexron/Mercon VI is probably going to be your safest bet. GM claims all Dexron formulas are compatible with every automatic trans they ever made.

 

Used to be Type A, Type F, and Dexron. I don't get why every carmaker now insists on having a specific proprietary fluid for its transmissions, available only at a franchised dealer and at an inflated price, except to force a customer to use it.
