TBH, you should've taken those classes offered, better career options if you do. Even if you don't do them now, you should go back and do them later when you have the time/money.

Ouch, but it's worth it if it's the difference between working for a random service shop or a specialist shop.

this type 4 stuff can either be red or AMBER when new.

No, it isn't. Anyone who has ever opened a bottle of tranny fluid knows that it is red.

You can believe and say whatever you want. It's my opinion that misinformation is best ignored.

we could buy 55gal drums of dyeless atf at school and it was AMBER. cheaper that way. here's an article explaining the color of atf without dye saying that it looks much like engine oil without it. I was just explaining before that some types of atf can be had without dye.
I should think I would know what atf looks like. my last vehicle had 320,000 miles when it went and it used a quart of atf every 2 weeks.

Automatic transmission fluid is usually red. In fact, I can’t think of an automatic transmission fluid that isn’t red, but I could be wrong. Come to think of it, I think Porsche uses some form of manual transmission fluid in some of their automatic transmissions. Let’s just say, for the most part, automatic transmission fluid is red. Consult your owners manual or service manual to be sure. Believe it or not, the red color is added to the fluid to give it its distinction. Before the dye is added, automatic transmission fluid looks much like motor oil. The dye is added to make the fluid more identifiable.

That's quoted from your own source. I don't believe your statement about your 55 gallon drums of fluid being non-red.

But thanks for proving my point.

your welcome sir. I realize I was wrong. in the future, lets avoid each other since we cant seem to get along well.
as for the drums, you could. it was a local supplier here in Michigan. off brand of some sort. they could get it from the factory that way, or dye-ed if you wanted it that way as well. it was about $20 cheaper without dye. it was almost a clear color with a slight amber tinge. I didn't even think it was ATF until I smelled it.

I'll take a cue from Hunter's post, and quote him:
