Looking to purchase a repair manual and found:
VELVET DRIVE 70c-73c
Would this cover it?
thanks,
Bob

If you have on of those transmissions in your boat it should look to see what you have . you never can tell what have untill you check thing may have been changed ,if you have the 71 or 72 I can email the man. to you

next week.
If it's not too much trouble, a copy of the 71/72 would be great. That's probably close enough for general info/repairs and would be a good start.
BTW, the boat I'm looking at has never had the trans fluid changed - it's an '88 . Possibly by a prior owner but certainly not in the past 7 years.
What's the maintenance interval on these?
thanks,
Bob

Wouldn"t 70C - 73C mean all years in between also? C. Don

Should have said all models in between. C. Don

Not picking on you Paul.... but if you look at one of the containers that the fluid comes in.... it is Dexron, Not Dextron.
I have been in the automotive parts business for about 27 years and only one time did I have someone pronounce it correctly.

This is a link to the service manuals for Borg Warner Velvet Drive Transmissions 71C-72C. I think it covers all models up to 1986.

You are correct and I been in the business longer then you . I should know better ,But when you hear it called dextron 99.99% of the time it rubs off
It was easier when it was type A or type F
