Default Have u had problems switching ATF??
Some of us (on thread "NP231 fluid question?") have been having a debate on whether or not switching from Dexron to ATF+3 or ATF+4 is a good idea. The research I've seen has all been for switching, but some of the guys are saying people have had problems (slipping, chattering, etc.) after making the swap.

I've never had a problem after switching.

Anyone have any experiences with that?

I would stick with dexronIII/mercon ONLY. I would stay away from ATF+4 in the tcase and transmission..
