It's probably rancid by now and almost certainly has reacted with the tin plating on the inside of the can, which leaves whiskers suspended in the fluid. These tin whiskers will wreck the clutches and brake bands in no time.Lasonic TRC-920 said:BTW, I got an older Ford and could use that trans fluid!
Shell Donax is still available in a non-Dexron form and is 100% compatible with the type of paper used in the clutches of Ford C3s and also the BW8 & BW35/45/65 of the period, but the best thing to do with old fluid that's been stored in tinned steel cans is to keep it away from automatic gearboxes and instead mix it with the Diesel in a two stroke commercial vehicle where it'll be harmless and maybe save you a few $$$ on "official" mixing oil.
Another useful way to dispose of all of this waste vehicular fluid would be to refill a lava lamp with a mixture of ATF and some MEG-based coolant. The resulting pinky blue lamps are great for that special room where Pink Floyd records are played and the atmosphere is always smoggy.

I had no idea you could make your own 2 stroke mix OR your own lava lamps!
