If ATF can do what gear oil or what ever heavy oil that was in my trans had,
Like I stated in a previous post you are beating a dead horse. For the immaculate internals (as you say) that you found with the inside of your trans may not be the same for someone else.....consider yourself lucky. Cause it wasn't 80w90 gear oil that was in there...there are thinner grades of gear oil that somebody else may have dumped in it. You can talk till you are blue in the face about the gear oil and it won't change a thing....ATF does just the same as what you say the gear oil did. Enough said.
why then do some of these trans whine? (excluding the the loss of fluid)
Both of my running truck & bronco has ATF in them and they are whiners.
I do not know the past history of my truck cause I'm about the 5th owner.
AS for the trans in my Bronco, I rescued it from an abandoned Explorer.
I was thinking to use my Bronco as a guinea pig to prove my case, since
I was planning to replace it with a rebuilt one anyway. (got 3 others to chose from) Being that the trans in my Bronco now is a known whiner and that by replacing the ATF with gear oil I can prove my point. One problem I have is, I don't know how far gone the bearings is in the Bronco's trans. The other is I have posted photo's here before but now my album has vanished.
Picture it this way, when you are cutting plastic filler (bondo) you don't cut
it 220 grit sandpaper = (ATF) first. You cut it with 60 or 80 grit = (heavy oil). I left the rasp out.
