My previous Carver had Velvet drives on big block gas V8's, the trans 
used ATF Dexron if I remember. But when we 1st got the boat, the fluid 
level in one trans was too high. The result was the transmission whipped 
the oil into a foam and it overheated. Pulled off some fluid to get the 
level down where it was supposed to be and the overheating problem went 
away instantly.  YMMV.
