1953 MAYFAIR AUTOMATIC TRANS & PWR BRAKES

Posted by VITO1950 On 2010/3/21 15:17:49

HI EVERYONE.I JUST BOUGHT THIS 53 MAYFAIR. DON'T HAVE ANY LIT (SHOP MANUAL).
1) PWR BRAKES: WHAT TYPE OF BRAKE FLUID DOES THIS USE?
THE DOT 3 OR (SILICON) DOT-5? HOW CAN I DETERMINE IT?
2) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: DO I CHECK THE LEVEL WHILE ENGINE IS OFF OR RUNNING?
AT THIS MOMENT IT READ ABOVE THE LIMIT LINE WITH ENGINE OFF. IT LOOKS LIKE THE STD RED FLUID.
WHAT TYPE FLUID DOES IT USE?
THANK FOR YUR HELP
