Hello

The subject is an 85 300D with 468K. Trans was shifting extremely soft and
somewhat sloppy, so I immeidately check the ATF level, it is about 1qt. low.
I also notice that it is like a honey gold or yellow in color.. it smells
OK. I added 1qt. of Mercon/Dextron ATF (red), and it shifts better but still
very soft and a little sloppy from 2-3.

Questions

What does honey color ATF mean, if anything?

Can someone give me a quick run down on chaning the fluid and filter, how
many qts ATF is needed?

How do I adjust the vacuum settings for transmission shifting? I think its way too soft.

Thank you,

John
