Re: [Amc-list] T-96 woes...

Mark,

Everything I have says the NWC T5 also takes ATF.  My AMC Chilton's manual 
says Dexron II.  I just checked the TREMEC service manual, and it also 
specifies Dexron II.  I've talked to my local transmission shop and they said 
ATF.  Anyone have an 83 TSM or owner's manual?  I'd to really see this 
settled one way or the other.  I have no issue with what you choose to put in 
your transmission, but for me knowing what the factory specified is an 
important part of making that choice.
