I am having great trouble finding transmission fluid here but was told that Pentosin ATF1 is okay

It is available here

I posted a forum for anyones knowledge but no replies yet

Thanks again
if i were you, i would just fill up the trans to the proper level of fluid first. see if that solves the problems it has. cause changing the filter/pan will not make it run better.

reason i say to just fill the fluid to the right level is, cause if you still have problems with the trans, then you may want to change the solenoids and the sealing ring between valve body and case, while you have the pan off.
what problems is the trans having now?

Thanks for your help

now it is just in safe mode
I was like it when i got it
There is no noises and it shifts into reverse no problems
The previous owner said it started leaking and then about a month later the transmission wasnt changing smooth (fluid still leaking)and then it went into safemode

Do you think I should remove the pan and see if there is any metal in the bottom first or just fill it up?
I look forward to hearing from you

i'd just fill it up first. if it still doesnt get out of safe mode, then remove the pan and inspect and go from there.
and is the trans is safe mode right away after you start the car?
