You're kidding, right? Read it again. A T F . AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID. Every single auto parts store sells it. KMart sells it. WalMart sells it. Target sells it. It's FLUID. Where do you buy your power steering fluid? Go back and buy ATF instead.
Seriously? A part number for a bottle of liquid???
Am I the only one who thinks this is the most bizarre request ever?
RDM, if you go back and re-read his post I believe he was asking for the part number for the seals not for ATF as you surmised. Take it easy on the guy, he's obviously quite new and not very mechanically inclined. A car as complex as ours can be pretty damned intimidating to many. This is a great and informative forum, but if we flame someone who is asking for what appears to be very basic information they're not going to be very encouraged to come back. Go have a seasonal hot toddy!

Brett, you're right about the OP's asking for a part # rather than an ATF #. As for misunderstanding exchanges on these threads, I think it happens often and mostly with as pk describes himself, "noob questions". I've read quite a few posts that were so confusing that I didn't have the time to decipher them or conduct a class 101 on the subject before getting to any advice that might have helped the OP. I'm sure RDM wasn't intending to flame him as is obvious from his attempts to offer advice, but rather a misinterpretation and perhaps a bit of frustration that such basic information seemingly wasn't getting through.
PK, I see you've done some research. Props to you and a suggestion to do a bit more, especially with definitions of terms and parts you're concerned with. It will help you to properly describe your prob and to understand the pertinent advice you receive in return. This site is loaded with info. Invest some time reading up. It's worth it!
PS - Only a fool walks away pretending to understand something he's been told. Never hesitate to ask for an explanation for advice that's not entirely clear.
Thanks
I was asking for the part number for the rack, or the thing i need to replace, i understand what is ATF, It is already leaking even if i fully flushed it and it will still leak, there must be something in there that is broken, I appreciate for your help and everything. I was just asking for help, I feel like I am a bother, if you feel annoyed talking to me, I am not forcing you. I just want to say sorry for my stupidity, and I didn't mean it on purpose. I just want to get a better understanding on how my car works. There is more problems with my car, I am reading this forum, there is a lot of help from everyone. I really love this site, and really got a lot of help, ex. changing car seats, changing ring for power steering, learning about other car and other years, and seeing everyone's old car has high mileage and loving their car. I just changed hid on my car, I read other sites too. I know I am stupid, you can talk about me all you want. I will accept anything you call me if that makes you feel better. I don't want anyone to be mad at me for my own stupidity. Thank you everyone who replied here. I might ask another thread, I want to keep my car, but there is so much problems. As time goes I will try my best to repair as much as possible on it. And again, thanks everyone who tired to help me.
