I have a 2003 Chevy Express 1500 AWD with 170,000 miles on the clock. 2 to third flare shifts. Already did a dran and fill with dibo Dex III. Thinking I will remove y pipe drop pan replace filter and install trans cooler. What fluid shoukd I refill with?

I run maxlife in my 2003 avy with a 4l60e, 239k done at least 5 drain and fills and a few filtr changes.
Also use it in my 2006 tahoe
 
No ATF or ATF additive will fix that. If....And it's a big IF the 3/4 clutch hasn't suffered damage & the Input Drum is tight.....Install a "Corvette" 2nd Servo & tighten the 2/4 Band clearance with a Sonnax band apply pin.

The 2-3 shift is Non-Synchronous & requires the 2/4 Band to come off & 3/4 clutch to come on at the same time, If the band releases before the 3/4 clutch can apply....You will get a flare.

The 3/4 clutch is likely burned & well on it's way to complete failure. It's foolish to run one to failure if you plan on having it rebuilt.
