Type F
$4.49 at my local Fleet Farm I told him about our local Rural King but it sounds like he would rather pay shipping

We use ATI 20w type F. Works good for us.

When I mentioned the B&M blue Stuff i was being sarcastic. Guess I should have put a smiley on there. Nobody I know has used that snake oil for about 50 years. If the TranSynd runs significantly cooler then that would be worth paying for. Does it affect stall speed, et or consistency? Curious on the negative on this one. So I was instructed to use a mineral F in my race 727 and ended up picking this stuff. Used it last season, no issues but being first year out with the car I only got about 25 passes in. But no shift problems and no heat issues. I have a gage on the trans, thought it didn't work until one night I went a few rounds and it registered on the gage but never over 160. In my street car I use the ATI 20w previosuly mentioned as well. This has been one of the things that has drove me crazy as of late since the stuff that was orignally spec'ed for these is no longer available.

FWIW I ran the ATI fluid prior to switching to Transynd in my Top Sportsman car

Not really a negative, more like a don't waste your money on the B&M. It is simply mineral type F with blue dye for a lot more money. I am sure it works as well as any other type F. Type F has been the go-to for decades until the synthetics showed up.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Wow !! I should have checked on here first ! I clearly got ripped off by Advance at $9.79 a quart !!! I thought about trying ATI or another type fluid but my 904 has been in my mid 11 second Dart for 7 years now using type F without a problem . My trans builder built me a complete race ready spare 904 a few years ago , I haven't needed it ! So either the type F works well or I have a really good trans builder... I do !

If your not running a trans brake. If you have a reasonably sized cooler. If your trans was assembled with correct clearance. Then any fluid will work. Doug Doug, what brand would you recommend for a tranny that has a break/race clutches/aluminum drums that Rock auto sells?

But in the past I’ve run Walmart Dexron with zero issues. Doug I had an issue with a flaired out bolt hole for the pump on my powerglide case several years ago. It was bleeding through and engaging my servo and wiping out my band. I was running Walmart brand Dextron 3 at the time because it was so easy to get and boy did the smell of it give me trouble. It has a smell to it like burnt clutches and made trouble shooting it hard. That’s the main reason I went back to type F.
