Frank Adkins explains in his book, Chrysler Performance Upgrades, that although Type F will cause a Chrysler 727 to shift better, the life span of of the front clutch pack can be dramatically reduced.




I would be reluctant to use the word "dramatically" but the simple fact is that type F has less lubricating properties than most other fluids. Consider that the Ford transmissions that type F was originally spec'ed for have clutch packs just like the TF and the friction material is similar if not the same and you don't see an epidemic of clutch failures in them.

Some (myself included) think that the lubrication to the front clutches in the 727 is marginal, a simple mod will take care of that.
