Re: could Dextron 2 be the reason for tranny failure Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: could Dextron 2 be the reason for tranny failure, jnb, Tue, 28 Mar 2006 17:28:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It might be a contributing factor if he actually used Dexron 2 which sounds really strange since I didn't even know they sold Dexron 2 anymore.
Most if not all Dexron 3 are compatible with older transmissions that used Dexron 2 but that doesn't mean the Dexron 2 fluid can be used in modern transmission built for Dexron 3 fluid, just like Dexron 3 shouldn't be used in the 2002 transmission built for Mobil 0039 fluid.
The Dexron 2 might not have all the additives needed for the newer Saab transmission and extra slipping might occur wearing things out prematurely.
But as I said, it sounds kind of strange if he have Dexron 2 on hand since I don't know where to buy that stuff.
It might only be that he have forgot to update his invoice program from long ago and therefore it still says Dexron 2 even though he use the newer Dexron 3.
Ask him
