Auto Tranny Fluid Recomendation

I recently purchases an 89 944 with and automatic. I am planning to drop the transmission pan and change the fluid and filter. What have you used and would recommend? What is called for by the factory? -Rick

Last time the ATF was changed in 87 944 used Dextron 2. Is Dextron 6 compatible with Dextron 2??

Yes all versions of Dexron are backward compatible.

However I would spend a little more and get more than than the basic fluid and get the best.

RedLine, Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF, Valvoline Synthetic ATF, etc.

You don't want to be replacing or rebuilding your 30 year old transmission.
