    What type of tranny fluid should we put in our c-4? Also my maverick manual shifts through all the gears nice but in drive its laggy from first to second and second to 3 is nice. I was told my vaccum modulator is going is this the case?

    Type F if it is original.

    Mine was rebuilt 10 years ago with a street/strip kit and now uses the "new" stuff.

    Thanks, I'll check it out next time at the store.:)

    I know the last time I was at Hughes Convertors they told me they use Type F in all their racing trannys. Even if its a glide or 350.
