    DELVAC-1 ATF

    I found a thread on BITOG and one user claimed this D1 ATF is Yellow Metal compatible. I have not been able to locate any supporting documents or other posts that make a similar claim. Can anyone tell me if the DELVAC-1 ATF is safe in a MT with bronze synchros calling for Dexron-III ATF?

    IRMA Weathermen

    Would somone please tell those idiot weathermen to get out of the wind and rain. They obviously lack any common sense and need a phonecall from a manager. There is absolutely zero reason for them to be standing out there except their egos. And all it does is cause noise in their broadcast.
