Hey all, I was wondering where in the world I could find me some dexron 2 fluid as specified in the book of my 1990 Chevy c1500. I also am wondering the capacity as I have no idea what it is… again not in book. And is they shift kits for these pickups I see first pop up worth it? Just looking to improve shift performance and quality of life on the trans. If it’s a performance upgrade I’d be ok with it as long as it doesn’t make it to where I need to rebuild my stock motor. Thanks!
No such thing any more...but "Dex/Merc" or "Merc/Dex" should be essentially the same stuff, without the Dexron trade name that GM doesn't license except for Dexron 6.Dexron 3 is backwards compatible.
The firmer the shift, the less heat put into the clutches/bands. OTOH, it's harder on the metal parts--splined shafts, drums, geartrain, etc.A shift kit will improve the longevity of the trans. The quicker and firmer the shifts the less time the clutches have rubbing on each other
I'm DONE with B&M "shift kits".So does this one look good?You must be registered for see images attach
A fluid flush needs the entire capacity of the trans, plus a few extra quarts.Ok, I’m thinking on doing a trans flux flush as well, do you know how much I should need?
You sure on those? I thought the MX codes were typically "merchandising" codes, whatever those are. From what I know, MD8 = 700R4, M40 = TH400. What makes it confusing is you will generally see the MX codes on the same SPID label. Let me shine a little more light on it to prove my point: a truck with a 4L80E, which is RPO code MT1, also has RPO code MX0. MX0 is simply "merchandised trans, auto provisions overdrive".. so seeing MX0 on this truck's SPID label absolutely does not mean 700R4.An option code " MX1 " is a Turbo 400, 3 speed transmission.
An option code " MX0 " , ( zero, not oh!), Is a 700R4, 4 speed.
