Change out that Mobil 1 NOW!
It's good fluid.. for a Chebby transmission... it is not 7176 compatible...
Chrysler transmissions are VERY particular about this.. I think Amsoil makes
a synthetic 7176 fluid, but I know Quaker State makes an ATF+3 that is
compatible... or go to the dealer and get 7176 ATF +3.. I believe this is
semi-synthetic.

Transgo makes the only one I know of... you can get them from Summit Racing.
Try asking your dealer if he has ever heard of a Chrysler department known
as Mopar Performance? They used to be called Direct Connection, if he's
really old...
I believe the Mopar Performance Shift kit IS the Transgo kit...
