RE: Trans fluid
I wouldnt mix them, if your not gonna do a complete flush then just put regular tranny fluid in it. save some money, cause just a couple of litres of synthetic wont make a big difference.

RE: Trans fluid
Allright, So here is the real deal.. I wanted to just change my filter and put fluid it. So while i was takign the pan off, one of the bolts didnt come out it was stripped. So I got it all back together, and put in the fluid and realized it was full synthetic... But from what you guys are saying maybe i should take it and get it flushed, and just have all one thing in there....

Or do you think it wont be that bad if i keep it in... for like another 30 thousand miles?

i dont think it would mater if you blended or not, all you need to do is make sure you use the correct type ATF and the correct amount.

RE: Trans fluid
band adjustments are nothing to be intimidated by. if you have an inch/lb torque wrench your in business. the specs are in any haynes or chiltons. for my old ram is was 72in/lbs and then back off a 1/4 turn. The rear band is a little harder to get at, but its for reverse so its not as nessessary if you cant reach it.
