mine whines a different noise in every gear, but it will not whine when i push in the clutch, so i changed my slave cylinder and clutch and the whining noise stopped.
Mercron transmission fluid is used in a 1978 Ford Thunderbird. Type F fluid can also be used but should not be mixed.
Dextron II fluid.
Dexron II or any other transmission fluid for GM vehicles.
there is no such engine for 1978 you either have L48 or L82.
The 1978 Corvette with an automatic transmission typically uses Dexron type transmission fluid. Initially, these vehicles were filled with Type A transmission fluid, but by the late 1970s, Dexron was introduced as the standard. It’s important to check the owner's manual or consult with a classic car specialist for specific recommendations. Always ensure you use the appropriate fluid to maintain transmission performance and longevity.
you don.t its a manual
ATF -3 is the standard for most if not all Chryslers.
To add transmission fluid to a 1978 Corvette, first ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is running. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is typically found near the back of the engine compartment. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to check the fluid level. If needed, use a funnel to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube until it reaches the correct level, then recheck the level again.
If your changing the transmission filter, it takes five quarts. If the transmission is completely empty, it takes about ten quarts to fill it up.
Regarding the A833 Manual Overdrive Transmission.....using Automatic Transmission Fluid as per Dodge's specs ( in a 1978 truck)....ate up the syncro rings in the transmission after about 50,000 miles and eventually seized. I believe this was a short-sighted attempt at increasing fuel efficiency ( lowering gearbox friction ). I have used SAE80 gear oil ever since in these gearboxes ( 1978 and 1889 trucks) with no further problems. Auto Transmission Fluid has no business in these gearboxes. That's a quote from the guy that had to rebuild my '78 gearbox.
