AlanChatterton Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Found some!Got some ATF, based on the Ford Spec as above, even says suitable for BW on the bottle.Thanks Ballykine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I got some Comma AQF for mine, says is suitable for BW transmissions but to be honest i think any ATF would do.Are you planning to do an oil change? I thought of doing this on my 2000 but was advised that it isn't necessary to change it provided the fluid is a nice translucent red colour. May do it anyway as I like changing the oil on things.....Do you think the autobox suits the Stag? I like my 2000 auto, just interested how it copes in a sportier car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanChatterton Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Wanted it for a top-up. Just had brand new fluid in the brand new box!!The Auto box really suits the Stag. To be honest, I wanted a manual/od one, but the Auto was the right car at the right time at the right price. Now I have it, I am glad I didn't go for the manual, it is sooooooooooo relaxing and really suits the "grand-tourer" style of the Stag.Only problem is the high revs at speed. 65mph is 3000rpm, I may try a 3.45 diff to see if that helps. The ideal would be the ZF 4 speed auto conversion, but at £2k, I may give that a miss!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
