What fluid should go into a '84 GK Sigma borg warner auto?
Dextron?
Also is there any adjustments that can be made while the pan is off? Its a bit clunky under heavy shifts and generally a bit crap (lots of ks), the fluid also looks a bit brown/red and gross.

Long time since I adjusted up a BW 35 but from memory there one adjustment inside - I think you put a 1/4" spacer in the between the adjuster bolt and stop and do it up to 10 inch pounds
then remove the spacer and chuck the pan back on
the other adjustment in up nearer the top of the box and that is done up to 120 inch pounds and then turned back out 1 and 3/4 turns
but it has been many years since servicing BWs
and how have you been going Karl long time no see

going by this sight it was back off the band by 3/4 of a turn not 1 3/4 turns

Re: BW 35 GK Sigma - What fluid
Thanks Steve,
Goin alright, still in Mildura, actually lookin at getting a 4wd and getting out along the river a bit more often.
Got this old dunger sigma (car I bought for my mum years ago) as I got her a 98 triton to replace it and drove it down from Mildura then came back in this sigma. The auto is a bit ordinary, seems to have alot of trouble moving in reverse, like its sapping heaps of power and does not want to move, drive ok in forwards gear but is amazingly slow.
