    Wildrick sells it. Many of us have been using Dexron transmission fluid for decades.

    There seems to be a number of different Dexron transmission fluids available.  Do you suggest any particular one or does it not make any difference?

    If you go with Dexron transmission fluid go with Dexron 3.  It is the only one that has come up every time on this topic.

    I've tried dexron 3 and always had a shuddering feel. I had an antique can of Hudson fluid from the 1950s and thought why not crack it open and give it a try...no more shuddering... In the meantime I bought a few bottles from the het shop for future use. ..so if dexron isn't working ..get some Hudson oil cheers ken

    Wildricks sells the clutch fluid:

    Alternatively, I have heard of a home brew (Never tried it myself but it seems plausible):
    2 oz of Marvel's Oil
    2 oz of Dextron 3
    2 oz of 10W-30 motor oil
