Only time I ever put type F in a 727 was years ago. I had a push button 727 in my 64 300. Decided to do a band adjustment and fluid and filter change. Reading the DC books lead me to think putting in type F might be an improvement. Drained out the whatever was in it, did my band adjustments put in a new filter, filled it up with type F. Two days later it's slipping and all the friction material came off the clutches.
Coincidence?
I don't think so and the cost of even a DIY rebuild is more than I care to spend to retest the type F experiment.
Wasn't the fault of the fluid.Type F has been a mainstay in the older Mopars since the 60s.
People keep saying that but it still happened.
Anyone willing to put up the cost of a rebuild for the OP if he goes the type F route and the trans fails?
People keep saying that because it's true.
I'm not.
