Got the ol', can't find the ATF+3 blues, eh?!... :-) You found everything
that's available in standard ATF --or at least everything I've heard of. If
you want to got synthetic I know Redline makes some for our tranny's but it's
expensive, like $8/quart.

Of the two standard ATF's I think it really boils down to personal preference.
If you golf, go with Pennzoil for Arnie Palmers sake... ;-)

Well I have been shopping for a tranny fluid to put in after I install the
ole transgo shift kit. But I'm having a problem finding tranny fluid for my
dak. About 90% of the ATF fluid I have seen says that it will work with GM
and Ford transmissions but says nothing about Chrysler. Thus far I have only
found two brands, Pennzoil and Valvoline that say they are recommended for
Chrysler tranny's(those would be ATF +3, as recommended by the service
manual). So where the hell is all the tranny fluid? The manual does say we
could use Dexron III tranny fluid only if ATF+3 is not available. I really
don't feel comfortable about putting the "last resort" fluids in my
transmission. So which one is better, Pennzoil or Valvoline? Or are there
more out there?
