Title: Re: [FWDLK] Transmission Fluid
For whatever it’s worth. There is Type “FA” readily available and works well in cast iron TFs and is known as a Blue Oval product.

Some tractor dealers carry it. Type F fluid will give a Type A trans harsher shifts, as it adds more friction (actually the F is for "friction" not Ford"). Dexron/Mercon will give a Type A trans softer shifts, as it reduces friction. Neither one will hurt a Type A trans. So, if you want smoother shifts, use Dexron/Mercon. If you want more of a performance feel, use Type F. Neither is "correct", but neither will hurt the trans. Most folks on the list seem to use Dexron. I checked with several rebuilders, including Aamco, and the general consensus is that any Dexron/Mercon fluid, with a thingy of anti-foaming agent (available at any GM parts counter), is the best substitute for Type A.
