Does anyone know the shelf life of tranny fluid?

I just unburied a case of ****** fluid (in plastic bottles) in my garage that I believe is ten or twelve years old. (back when you got 24 bottles)
Well, anybody think it'll work?

 

as cheap as transmission fluid is, why not just go buy new fluid?

 

Won a case of B&M Trick Shift at Norwalk in '97 and didn't use it until last year, no problems.

 

the ****** fluid in my `28 tudor has been in there for at least 14 years

 

Thanks Guys, I guess I'll give it a go and, Ya know, nothin' is cheaper than free.

 

I would use it without hesitation.

 

24 bottles to the case? Hell man that waasn't 10-12 years ago it was back in the 70s! DOn't worry though, the juice inside is just as good as it was when it was made. By the way, TYPE A, DEXRON, or TYPE F? Plastic bottles, steel/aluminum cans, steel/cardboard cans?

 

I think it rates right up there with Peanut ****er. Used a lot of old ****** fluid and no problems.

 

Oil is millions of years old. Then it gets processed (cleaned up, fractioned) a bit. I don't think sitting on the shelf in a sealed container can do anything to it.

yeah, its basically the same as the day it was packed.........there have been improvements in oils in the past few years, but if the stuff was good when packed its good now, in my book at least

Unlike gasoline, I think ****** fluid is pretty darn inert AND stable (unless rain water got in an open can/bottle). Stuff's costly to rebuild, but I don't think I'd hes***ate to use unopened trans fluid.

HOWEVER, anything that's been opened & partially used, I pour it into somethig (coffee can usually), SO I can see if any particles of anything got blown into the original contianer by the wind. That said . . . I am not one for wasting perfectly good stuff.

 

OR, just ship it to 440roadrunner! LOL
