Re: {Chrysler 300} Transmission fluid recommendation for cast iron torqueflite



When Don Verity rebuilt the transmission in my '57 300C, he specifically recommended Type F fluid for it. 

I can't blame Don or the Type F for the fact that the transmission "burps" half a cup of fluid out the fill tube when starting after sitting more than a week or so.  Mess!   And no, it's not overfilled, and the cumulative "burps" barely show on the dipstick.

Can ATF-4 be used?  I also see it now comes as a synthetic.  Is there a problem to use it in both power/torque flits? Other than price is synthetic better especially for powerflits?

DexVI is synthetic, and was made for newer electronic transmissions. I have always used Dex III or type F with no problems. It's cheaper too.

Have also heard that DexVI is better in the later TF (62-65?) than Dex/Merc III.  Not sure why, maybe Don knows if true…
 
I believe Type F replaced Type A.

For my 1960 the service information says to use Type A but George Riehl's 2002 article says to use Type F. What is the current recommendation?
 
Also, would that be the same for a 1957?
 
Thanks, Nick
