What fluid should I use in my Mopar 904 tranny?

Question 1
What fluid should I use in my Mopar 904 tranny?...  I just had a 72 904 rebuilt. The shop is closed now, so I can't ask them! D*mn it! I went to auto store and they said ATF Dex/Merc.

I just want to be sure. I sometimes wonder if it even matters???

Answers
1)   I recommend Mopar ATF 3 or ATF 4. ATF 3 is what was recommended by Chrysler. ATF 4 is the latest synthetic version and is very good. - C-Tech

2)   ATF + 3, don't use synthetic. - Michael

3)   C-Tech is right and Mopar has a couple of good information web sites also - carlar58

4)   Dexron is what the factory used and will work just fine.Personally I run type F in the ones I've built for drag racing.Also on the transmission dipstick it will tell you the proper fluid to use. - Amy m

5)   If the transmission was built to 1972 specs I would use Dexron/Mercron as that was an acceptable ATF to use that year. Chrysler started using ATF+3 (a synthetic fluid) in 1990 and now uses ATF+4.

Not sure what, if any damage, would occur if ATF+4 would be used in a '72 spec built 904.

And it does matter in later Chrysler transmissions, Dexron/Mercron will ruin a post '90 transmission. - Don't know everything !

Question 3
I just had my struts changed and two new tires on my 2001 PT Cruiser and was charged $1100. Is that to much?...  
I want to know if I was overcharged and by how much, not to get my money back, but because that is the shop where my parents have always taken our cars and if they did overcharge I would like to start taking it somewhere else to get worked on.

Answers
1)   yes it is but it is too late now. - Scott W

2)   If you were overcharged, you wont get your money back. So whats the difference if $1100 was too much or not? - Store Brand Mayonnaise

3)   Without all the details its hard to say. For example, were these top-of the line tires and struts? Did they include new strut mounts? Was the cost of the alignment included? (if it did not include alignment I would want to talk to a manager). Was there any other maintenance or repairs included? - C-Tech

4)   The shop that does my tire work replaced all the struts on my Infiniti a couple years ago, and that was a shade under $900, so I'd say this is probably in the ballpark. - Windowphobe

When adding Trans X fluid in a 1998 Plymouth Voyager, Is it better to keep your van running while pouring?...  

Answers
1)   There is no need to have the vehicle running.

Be sure to only use +4 transmission fluid. Dextron will damage that transmission - fire4511

2)   Yes, that way it circulates, and you get a true reading. - badbill1941

3)   yep... idling warmed up, in neutral or park. only used the Chrysler fluid.. dextron is NOT good for those trans. - jnc623

Question 5
I need to know if the standard radio that came in a 1993 Plymouth Grand Voyager will fit in another car.?...  I am getting a 2007 Ford Escape XLS without a radio and would like to know if the Plymouth radio would fit this car also

Answers
1)   I seriously doubt the radio will fit if it is a stock Chrysler radio. Most Chrysler radios have been double dins for probably 30-35 years and I know the '93 Grand Voyager is a double din. - Don't know everything !

2)   You're probably going to try a wrecking yard for a Ford radio. Chrysler radios will Only interchange with other Chrysler products. - badbill1941

3)   short answer is no. go get a ford radio. - jnc623
