Back in the early 70's....... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: OT: auto trans fluid for a 57 Buick, Osvensk ![]() |
When I was an engineering co-op student, GM still had a few drums of the whale oil containing tranny fluid sitting around.
One of the transmission design engineers wanted to do a test using this fluid to see if it would eliminate an operational problem with one of his designs. The grizzled old mechanics verbally slapped him around. Reminding him that even if his design worked with the old fuid it was still no good since the oil was no longer available.
I thought everyone had forgotten that ATF contained whale oil at one time.
