Has anybody ever run automatic trans fluid in a 5speed gearbox.

I was talking to my local mechanic and he recomended it to me.

He said that he runs it in his race car (yes it is an Alfa) which he runs 12 and 24 hour races in about 1800 to 2000 shifts per race and hasn't had the rebuild as often. When he ran gear oil he was rebuilding after every race.

I know alot here tend to run Shell spirax or Redline, but I have been unable to locate it locally.

Just wondering what your thoughts were on this and if anyone has run the ATF?

thanks
