I understand that in order to get a better performing transmission i need to look further then just changing the fluid, wich is why i purchased the transgo shift kit, i am just waiting for tax returns to pay for it to be installed, so i will have a shift kit, and i figured once the shift kit is installed thats when i'll switch to the type fa transmission fluid, that way i get the best of both worlds, a better shifting transmission because of the shift kit, and a better shifting transmission due to the more grabby type fa fluid, and i would be getting more lubricating ability and protection with the type fa, the type f and type fa are pretty much the same fluid, but from what i have learned reading up on it online the type fa does have a little bit more additives to help with its lubricating and protecting ability.
