Best trans fluid for Aldo high performance boxes?

[Benzo4gT]

I'm going to put my Aldo auto in Monday/Tuesday, all is well about the methods and wiring but I'm stuck on the fluid.
I can recall mention of a ?Ford type auto fluid? that was the oil recommended, but I may be mistaken, it was a single post on a thread that I can't find anywhere.

I know to steer clear of Dexron. Can anyone with an Aldo box let me know what fluid is used? It would be much appreciated

How about Aldo himself?
What does he recommend??

Give him a call Ben.
I use John Deere Hygard in mine.

Thanks Aldo I wasn't sure if you were watching the forum otherwise I would have PM'd you.

The auto swap is shit canned for the moment because I wasn't supplied the drivers side mount or flex plate bolts when I bought the box from the guy on the coast. Bit of a bummer but that's the way it rolls with cars.

Check you have the correct starter plate also. I dont know what you would need.
Bolts are cheap from mitsi. Well the manual ones are. Its common to run dual flex plates.

good luck with the mount.

Cheers Jack.

I bought an engine from a guy who split an rvr with a friend, he wanted the engine his mate wanted the auto box. The engine guy found a complete race car so no longer needed the engine, the box guy sold his rvr and no longer needed the auto box, so I bought both. Somewhere between the two of them bits were taken off and not put with the respective items, me being a newb to auto boxes I didn't think to check for them.

I may have to fab up the mount as I can't see any wreckers around here or gympie having an rvr sitting around. A job for another day....................probably june sometime

We all miss something. I bought a buell smashed and someone had taken the ecu!!
Ex mrs bought a mazda at auction and it had no engine!

I have the gearbox mount sitting on the box here if you need measurements. I dont think i have the chassis rail part, but maybe...

you could use a magna one or maybe a proton one for the baseplate. I think the 2wd ones have same plate.
