Tiptronic fluid color

[Lil bastard]

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I have listed several links to info about the ZF transmission. I believe there is a disclaimer on the proper fliod in the fluid charts and some others. I'll have to check my database to get the actual document specifically cautioning against using anything but the ESSO fluid, but I know the lube chart linked here states essentially the same thing.

Sorry for the mess...and it started with a crooked manager. No fluid, no visible leaks and that's a lot fluid...must have been the invisible type. Listen, the is nothing wrong with a used transmission, they usually come from cars that were dismantled because they were totaled and could not be repaired. You need the year, make , model and engine size. Here's one from a dismantler in GA. And, I bet you will be able to find several in CA. When you purchase one be sure that all the seals are replaced before being installed.
