That question was only there for like a day. And on a Sunday, where most people with lives are not sitting on the computer. I however, do not have a life and sit at the computer a lot because I am easily distracted from my homework.

Either way, it depends, how many miles are on the transmission? Is it normally flushed? Is it not shifting smooth? Gotta take it all into consideration, can't just ask us what fluid to use. It'd be like asking what kind of oil should I use on my engine. And that's all the info. For all we know it could have 300 bajillion miles on it. Does it have 300 bajillion miles on it?

If you have a higher mileage engine, you probably want a thicker oil, like 10W-30, or I have even considered running 5W-30 in mine because of the high miles. I would say you made he right choice of the 75w-90.
