Amsoil lists two ATF choices??

[Johnny248]

I have a 1996 Miata that the owners wants me to flush the auto trans, replace differential and p/s fluids and use Amsoil for it all. When I use the Amsoil look up, it shows Amsoil AFT and Amsoil Torque-Drive. I thought that stuff was for Allison transmissions? Is there a reason they list both? Should I use the regular ATF??

Gary Allan and Pablo will have your answer.

ATF or ATD will work fine in that Dex III application.

is it overkill?

Its only overkill if they are going to keep the car for a short time, but if they will have this car for a long time then Amsoil ATF is worth it. I use the stuff and nothing I have used before compares too Amsoil ATF.

I would use the ATF.

I do on my Mazda 6 with an atx and I autocross. Never a problem and no shift weirdness unless I confuse the computer... but I'm usually confused at that point as well. The first few autox runs are the hairiest...

I use the Amsoil ATF in my 5-speed auto Mazda3 which is autoxed regularly as well. I almost always put the trans in manual mode and hold 2nd unless the course has some really fast bits, though.

Exactly, but this one course I got halfway through 3rd, you respect Electronic brakeforce distribution after braking from that :-D
