lots of guys are using trans syd on www.dieselplace.com allison oem trans section and somebody said to go to the allison web sight.....but there are a ton of guys using it....also it seems to cost 155.00 to 200. for 5 gallons...and they say the way to flush is do it through the return line disconnect method....they say you do not have to drop the pan and do the filter unless 25g miles...or rebuild....at the rate I change my fluid...i think I will keep the dextron....also they said the dex 3 is being discontinued soon....and going to dex VI...

I will second the Torque-Drive from AMSOIL. Synthetic fluid that mirrors the Trans-Synd for less $$$.
