Power steering fluid

[disco bob]

The hand book and bible state that you should use Mobile atf 220 but i can`t get it anywhere,can you use anything else.
Went to my 1st tvrcc meet on sunday the noise was something else.

I think you can use auto box fluid. Name of the stuff escapes me for the moment...

Dextron 3... ?

Dexron IID spec ATF is widely available (Halfwits etc)and is the usual tipple for PAS systems and GM auto boxes.

If I could type I'd be dangerous - AFT ??

ATF and Halfrauds yup !! Just had the Millers Page at hand !!

TvR chimaera 450 2001, anyone know how much fluid the power steering system takes ????

I believe it’s around 1-1.5L
Get another litre if you want to flush it through, but you may not use it all.
A decent Dextron III is what you need.
