	in the transmission industry we use mercon 3 with a special additive distributed by lubegard specifically designed for honda and chrysler transmissions. look for a local transmission supply wharehouse and ask for lubegard additive for chrysler transmissions it will make the fluid correct for all chrysler transmissions...

	I would not recommend use of anything but ATF+3 or the newer synthetic ATF+4 in a Chrysler transmission. Using anything else, even if it comes with an additive is penny wise and pound foolish.
