Wrong type of ATF....download Ed's Red Bore Cleaner to see the specifications.
Dexron II, III ATF , General Motors spec.D20265 or later . I purchased the 4 following ingredients , one quart of each , all at wally mart for under $20.00 .

1.)SuperTech Dexron - VI. for use with type II, III (and a few other no.'s) General Motors , ATF.
2.) Kleen-Strip Acetone
3.) Crown Odorless Mineral Spirits
4.) Crown K-1 Kerosene (lamp and heater fuel)

It makes a gallon and don't look down your nose at it until you at least try it. Great for when you need a quantity of not expensive cleaner...I like it but also use the expensive ones that have a nice smell ( my wife has a sensitive nose) but for big jobs.....just try it once.
The mix I have with the above 4 ingredients , stored in clear Windex bottles spray , has shown no separation and It has been mixed for over a year . Different ingredients might make the difference with the separation , my ingredients stay mixed.
