["H.R.Stil" <H.R.Stil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi all and Gene,

Yep, get out the Dextron ATF III and put it in!
>Was looking for some input concerning pros and
>cons.88/535is--auto ZF.-4sp.
Pros: It is a ZF!
Cons: It is a ZF4!
No just kidding, the pros are :good response from the box, quiet,
smooth,
sporty(well in 'S' mode), no more misshifts, very quick!
the cons: Can get too jerky, can 'let go' at any given time if not
handled
properly.

You all are religious about changing your engine oil, but are you the
same as it come to your auto box? I change my oil every 6000 miles
but I also change my trans-oil every 6000 miles! I NEVER EVER rev the
engine after the gear lever has been in 'R' or 'D', I do not strain the
box
by revving in 'D'.
>I know these trans let loose in about a 100K or so.
Mine is original and at 260.000 kilometers!
>Mine is in that category.So far very smooth,no problems.The fluid has

Yep about 200.000 miles of them!
