Type F is supposed to have more friction modifiers in it. It's less sliperier.....




First statement false, second statement true. Type F has no friction modifiers, Dex/Merc has some, and HFM (highly friction modified) fluids like ATF+4 have the most. These friction modifiers affect the performance/behavior of friction materials, such as the clutch plates and bands in an AT.

be sure to let us know in 3-6 months of driving, if it's still in one piece

so with Type having the least friction modifiers it should "technically" be the best ATF for one of these brass synchro transmissions like the A833?

That would be my guess. I'm honestly not sure how much the FMs affect the synchros.
