question about some bubbles on transmission dipstick

[stevolwevol]

My transmission (th350) has good fluid color, and isn't over filled, but when I checked the fluid there were a small amount of bubbles on the stick. It shifts well, and no slipping. Just could use some input about the bubble thing. I was driving a little hard before I checked.

As long as the fluid level doesn't rise because of foaming a few bubbles is normal.

If the tranny is full and if it shifts and operates properly- you are fine.
I would expect your bubbles are the result of running it hard and or some sloshing around the tube.

Yes, I was being a little hard on it. Sometimes I just can't help myself. I'll check after normal driving tonight and see if I get bubbles.

I drove "normal" and no bubbles. Without starting a new thread, I am assuming I can use dexron VI (synthetic) in a 350. Would this be O K to use?
