    I've had to use different tran fluid (no frills) when my wifes VR6II had bad tranny seals, and the servo didnt have DXIII, It worked (allthough poored out as I drove lol)
    Definately wouldn't recommend it though, DXIII is the way to go!!
    Can I ask why you wanna change? Price?

    Save your car, less you don't have a stock tranny?

    Perhaps if you can contain it, you might be able to swap someone fluid? lol
