What is the best trans fluid these days for an A-727

Nope. He's either makin' it up or he's misinterpreting what he thinks he's seeing.

That has been the argument by most mechanics for years now , of course the engineers that design the stuff and run rigorous test , not just anecdotal evidence get my vote . But I will still ask my transmission guy what he thinks , he's been building bullet proof trans for me for 35 years and usually goes with good scientific data . He tends to side with rigorous large sample tests .
