Dexron VI in a Manual Transmission
can anyone tell me why you CANNOT run dexron VI in my 2002 trans am with a 6 speed manual? Why is Dexron III allowed and Dexron VI isn't?

i put the dexron VI in mine and put on maybe 50 kms and read that it is a no no, so i dumped the oil last night and let it drip over night. i will be filling it up with gm's manual tranny oil tonight.
