Don't know maintenance history.

I am experiencing torque bind - when sharply turning at slow speeds, the whole car vibrates. I hear that one cause could be tires of unequal diameter, for example if one is low on air. I made sure they were the same and I am still getting the vibration.

Another suggestion I got was to drain the tranny fluid a few times.

I hear good things about Redline 75W-90NS but really any good tranny fluid should work, I just want to make it to 170K-180 miles or so.

I am not getting a flush, but draining it myself a few times since the fluid pan has a drain plug in it.

Any comments about Redline 75W-90NS? Any other fluids I should consider?

Where do you buy a good tranny fluid? NAPA auto parts maybe?

Any universal or multivehicle ATF is good!

Because of mileage and unknown history, Castrol high mileage or Valvoline maxlife is what I would use.
