727 Fluid Type

What is the correct fluid type for a '66 727? I seem to recall something about ATF but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Actually today trans fluid is trans fluid. In the old days there was a type "f" for Fords but basically the only difference was detergent levels.

Oops ..."thinking with my dip stick Jimmy..."

So Type F, ATF, and Dexron/Mercon are all compatible with my trans?

If you want to be comfortable with what you get, Dextron.

There is always the "performance" tranny fluids that you can go with too like B&M's trick shift.

all fluids are NOT the same! the difference is the friction coefficient (look it up). the type of fluid might be imprinted on the dipstick. i believe it is dextron. the wrong fluid can cause your tranny useless.

did you know ford had a type "A" fluid? it was used before most of you were born, lol.
