I guess I should have mentioned that this is a rebuilt with approx 40K on it - all miles driven by me. Plus, the car sat for 6 mos while I worked on the engine. The radiator was removed and the flex hoses dripped clear, decent looking, violet colored fluid. I suspect the rebuild shop (Deans in Seattle) used dexron. MB trans fluid is a different color right? Different spec?
