[AT] tranny fluids

[H. L. Staples]

The new oil would probably flow to the little hydraulic piston pump in the
bottom of the transmission better especially in cold weather. 
 
The lift cylinder piston if equipped with the old steel rings may leak by
with the lighter oil.
 
The lift piston can be easily replaced with the new style ( O-ring and
backup washer ) type.
 
Any good machinist can cut the gland in the old piston for the O-Ring and
back up washer.
 
When I had the 8-N the piston update made a real difference in the lift
operation. 
 
Perhaps more than you wanted to know.
