rocketraider Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Slim Jims are such weird animals that I'd be wary of using synthetic unless the trans was newly rebuilt. Even then it may not be compatible with the clutch facings. Most folks now are using Dexron in older HydraMatics. D-II was probably better for Slim Jims than D-III, but I haven't heard of any failures directly caused by using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
