thanks ! Just towed it to be safe. Hopefully it’s just pump. I don’t see how gear box would go at the same time. Makes zero sense.

thanks for help. While I have you .

i have the non ace system. Read 50 articles of people saying dex 3 but then if jt gets cold may gum up. So regular is fine. Get synthetic. Don’t get synthetic.

so would this be ok? Mixed blend synthetic dex 3

also i couldn’t find on boards or rave. What is the capacity of the power steering system when flushing etc?

thanks

I ran Valvoline Maxlife ATF for years. No issues. Alternative to ATF - Pentosin CHF 11. Chicago Rover in artic temps! -40 forecasted for Friday....never gummed up.

Regular......Check out Atlantic British "How To" section for power steering pump video. It will give you plenty of insight.
