There are 2 different fluids in your AT transmission. The actual AT (toward the front, with the pan and filter) uses Dexron/Mercon ATF, but the rearmost section is the differential and uses GL-5. You'll need both and you shouldn't have any trouble telling which goes where. Be SURE to check the differential fluid level, even if that is not where your emphasis is right now. It slowly leaks out and gets ignored. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
