Re: NOISY OD - please help ALL

There is a bearing that does not spin within itself when the OD is engaged. That bearing is now in need of replacement.

Just changing to Type F. ATF will be an improvement over the Dextron which IS NOT a replacement for type F just as Type II Dextron was not made for use as Type F. ATF.

The damage is done to the bearing. How long it will last is anybody's guess. Save for a repair as soon as possible. If (when) the bearing fails it will damage more than itself in the OD raising your repair bill very rapidly.


Either of those are better than the Dextron you have in it now. Depending upon your climate you may be able to leave it in all year if the temp never gets below 20 degrees F. Neither will kill the OD, since the damage is already present.

By the way, if a mechanic replaced the ATF and used the Dextron, you may have to fight a little but the courts will make the mechanic pay since he damaged your OD by not using the correct fluid the manufacturer specified.
