Hey guys. New here, and have a 'new' 97 ti sport. Just want to make sure I replace the trans fluid with the right type and kind. Read somwherer there should be a colored tag on trans, and you can use several types of fluid depending. Any definitive suggestions? |  |  | | 11-22-2011, 04:03 AM | #2 | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Canada Posts: 12 | Really?
So nobody knows what kind of trans fluid my 97 takes? I looked around on forum and had a not a whole bunch of luck. I am not a skilled internet guy, and need some direction. | | | | | 11-22-2011, 04:30 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Tulsa, OK Posts: 252 |

I used Redline synthetic ATF in mine, I know it's a stick but the owners manual said ATF, no clue why so I just went with it | | | | | 11-22-2011, 06:11 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Fl Posts: 1,353 |

How about Dexron VI? GM's latest and greatest. I suppose I can change it if it feels wrong without too much damage. What could go wrong in 40 miles? | | | | | 11-23-2011, 03:56 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 |
I use Dextron in both my automatic ti and my five speed Z3...feels great. | | | | | 11-28-2011, 07:45 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Mt. Laurel, NJ Posts: 390 |
