Allison 1000 trans fluid

[ChrisPerry]

Mike L wants dex/merc or transynd used in all his built transmissions. If you mention dex6 he will shake his head and explain the reasons its a no no. Allison even says dex6 is not to be used in any Allison and will not warranty a trans if it is used. (all Allisons in GM are warrantied dirrectly from GM for this reason)

I have a Mike L trans in mine so I use synthetic dex/merc, aka dex3, as per Mikes instructions. When mine was stock I used a tes 295 approved fluid, aka synthetic dex3.

What year trans do you have? If its pre 06 it came with dex3 from the factory.

Dont forget to keep the magnet on the new spin-on when you change it.
