I have a problem with my XD transmission which I need to sort out. The gears won't engage. At present the tranmission fluid is fairly low, which I aim to top up and then see if that eliminates the problem. The only thing is, I can't work out what type of transmission fluid to use. How do I tell what type of transmission it is? I noticed the gasket pan is leaking, which from initial inspection may be a gasket/seal and will be looked into before I refill trans fluid. I know its a 3 speed cruisomatic (trans B), 4.1, engine W as listed on the tag codes, build date is 08-80, 5 seater!! Pics of the trans are here: http://gallery.oldholden.com/ecoimpact/XD/I found these codes stamped on the tranmission C6AP-7D027-B 8.0 D4ZP-7A040-AA There was a big letter 'B' near one of the above codes too. Could someone please help with some information. Greatly appreciated in advance. Cheers Jesse

Don't fords use the "Type F" fluid????
Reason I ask, is I got some once (by accident), for an old trimatic, and was told in no uncertain terms by an 'old school' mechanically minded neighbour to only put Dexron 2 into the trimatic, as the Type F would |
