I have a 2.5 TDI Auto 1998 which suffers from very sluggish performeance from standing and shifting on the redline in Drive the whole car is underpowered and unhappy. I had the turbo and MAF changed recently which didnt make a great deal of difference improved things slightly but took these two thigs to point to a transmission problem which I knew was there all along since I bought the car. Anyhow. I bought the Fluid filter and gasket to do a transmission fluid change thinking that this could be the problem drained it out to find that Cherry red Dexron 2 or 3 came out (I am not sure which)

Can someone explain what happens when you put Dexron 3 into a box which is supposed to have G 052 162 A2 in it and also would one of you experts be able to conject whether the box is savable/flushable and the best way of going about it. Obviously with the price of the oil and filter I do no particularly wish to have to purchase them again in a few weeks for a replcement box the Box in question is a DEQ by the way

Many thanks in advance
