The old manuals specify Type A Suffix A transmission fluid.  This type seems long gone.

What transmission fluid do you recommend ?

Can transmission fluids be mixed when adding a bit ? 

Thank you.

I don't know how available these are any more but it was generally accepted that Ford Type F would give firmer shifts and GM Dexron would provide smoother shifts.  There are so many formulations of ATF out today I don't know what would be the best recommendation.  The  Borg Warner Power Shift is similar to Borg Warners used by Fords back in the day so maybe.a Ford Mercon ATF could be a modern alternative.  

Hopefully someone with recent experience will join in.

If the AT fluid has not been changed for awhile or you don't know when or with what, change it.  I suggest Dexron.

Either dexron or ford type F , Napa or other retailers carry or can get. If you are doing a change drain converter ( drain plug) too, clean screen also. Pan gasket  same as ford FMX   Lou Cote
