Is B&M Trick Shift A/T fluid compatible with S14?Because something is telling me that it isnt.The bottle says "compatible with all ATF".but i think dextron 3 trannys are an exception.

What A/T fluid do you use?

well, i am pretty sure that dexron 2 and 3 are so similar that you can use either or. I did that in my daily driver/beater and i have had no problems, but it was blown to begin with. I know this isn't that helpful,. haha, sorry

b&m trick shift is just type f transmission fluid. it uses a friction modifier for firmer shifts. you should just use what the factory recommends as i think type f is kinda meant for older cars.

i use mobil 1 synthetic. i've read you should only use the trick shift for '97 and earlier model cars. you could use synthetic trick shift, except it's blue instead of the normal red.
