WHAT THE "Diamond ATF SP-III" IS ?IF you mean hydraulic oil type ,IT WAS MATCHED WITH IT.IT'S TYPE IS DEXTRON III WITH 'TRANSIT' BRAND .BUT I DONT THINK THERE IS PROBLEM IN OIL TYPE.
MY CAR TRANS IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLED TRANSMISSION
SOMEONE SUGGESTED ME 3 WAYS TO DO :
1-CLOSING OIL CURRENT IN RADATOR AND USING JUST TRANS COOLER TO COOL THE OIL.
2-THOUGHEN OR INSERTING SOME WASH AIR IN REGULATOR THAT IS IN PUMP .
3-OPEN TRANS CLOCK(I DONT KNOW THE EXACT NAME) AND RESETING IT.
