transmission fluid
I need to change the transmission fluid in my 94 accord and want to know if there is any other (cheaper) transmission fluid anyone would recommend other than fluid from the dealership. Thanks

Re: transmission fluid
Gallon of Valvoline Dexron III is what I have used for service changes on the '95/'97. I add a bit of Trans Tune as well, this seems to keep the accumulator valves happy when cold. Otherwise the trans takes a moment to fully engage first thing in the morning.

Re: transmission fluid
Thanks,I will pick up a gallon tomorrow. I am going through the takes a minute to engage now. Every morning the first time I drive the car I have to put it in gear and wait a second or two before it engages. After the first start of the day it goes right into gear the rest of the day with no problem until the next morning. It seems like it takes longer to engage the colder the weather is. It used to do it only in drive but is getting lately where it does it in reverse also on the first start of the day.

Re: transmission fluid
I do believe that Valvoline has dropped the 'III' from their latest bottle labels. If it says it is compatible with Dexron I, IID/E and III then it is most likely the same Dexron III stuff.
Just don't use Mercon V, that is slightly different.
