Had my fluid changed today. they used mobile fluid. they called around a few places to see if it would work. Everyone they talked to said it was fine. should i be worried. should i take it to the dealer tomorrow and have them do it? i feel that the shop would not do me wrong. I have done alot with them. Just dont want to destroy the truck. I hace only driven about 5 miles since it was done today. thanks

Whatever they used has to be mercon SP compatible. If its not get it out of there fast

Take it back to them and make them flush it I just searched Mobil's website and they DO NOT have a fluid compatible with a torqshift trans

Dealer will put the right stuff in it. Make sure you get a copy of the reciept from the dealer showing it had to be redone with the right fluid. Take that to the other place and make them pay for it

got it to the dealer. got the fluid changed, but i took my sct off just in case. now, the trannie is shifting hard because it i guess i took the sct off and put it back on. they said it will do that for a little while. I cant tell if its the sct or the trannie. i guess time will tell.. any ideas?

your tranny is fine, the SCT will shift hard for a good 20 miles, and then a few times when you get on it, its learning your shift pressures, your trans is fine.
