I`m going with Dot 5 this time around in my current build since everything will be new. I have it in another car I own and I have had no issues. I used Type F last time in my 904 but I`m not sure what I am going to use this time. Looking to see what others recommend here. I was also told to use DOT 5. I was advise DOT 5 does not damage the paint in the event there is an accident and fluid leaks/spills.

I always hear Type F for firmer shifts but not best for the 727.
I go with what trans shop owner of over 30 years here in town tells me to use in my 727 for best durability; Dex/Merc.

That`s the main reason I am using it this time around being I will have new paint.

Use walmart brand Type F. You can buy other brands but there isn't much reason to.

For brake fluid I use DOT 5.Like others said no paint problems if there is any spillage.The ATF I use is whatever the local parts stores stock but I was told by John K.on this board was to use a 50/50 mix of Dexron and Type F.I've been doing it that way for years without any problems.

There is no letter T in the word DEXRON. WTH is dextron? Some sort of 80's techno fluid?
Cope and his home built trans are pretty comical. Had a friend spec out a complete trans for a 10 second racecar. Burnt up in 2 days at the track. Cope was like, "Oh I had a bad run of valve bodies but thought I had those fixed". Gee thanks CRT! Good to know, I shall keep that in mind.
