At the old shop...all 727, 904, TH350, TH400, 700R4'w were rebuilt using
Type-F without any problems what-so-ever. I still keep in contact with two
of the people who had ther transmissions rebuilt and they haven't had any
problems at all...and that was back in 1991. Mopar Now, just recently, had
an article about using Type-F in the transmissions as well without any
problems.
Where's the factual findings about the Type-F?

Type F and FA has been proven to cause premature, clutch, band, servo bore,
and thrust bearing/washer wear, as well as accelerated pump wear, torque
convertor clutch, planetary (both in the main body and OD box) I'm not sure
how the fords get away with it but I used this in a 727 and with 20,000
miles
it was JUNK, the servo bores were wiped out, both bands were junk, the pump
bushing had eaten my convertor, and all the clutches were cooked, the weird
thing is that it still moved, there was almost NO friction material
anywhere,
it did have a manual valve body, maybe the extra line pressure helped move
it
with steel to steel in the clutch packs. Just figured I's share...
