No need for synthetic???I would use a Dexron based fluid, like the spec calls for. Plenty of people use Ford type F. The simple truth of the matter is the Torqueflite will run off most anything, including motor oil. I like to keep it simple and run a form of Dexron. I'd run probably Dexron III if I could find it.

I just got my 904 reverse manual from Cope Racing Transmissions, John's recommendation was Penzoil DEX-MERC or B&M Trick Shift.
Two completely different fluids and either will work fine! lol That just shows you how little the Torqueflite cares. lol
B&M Trick Shift is Ford Type F. Says so right on the label. LOL
Well I am just gonna use what John recommended, especially since it is a pretty expensive component.. and for some reason directions seems to mean a lot more to me these days..LOL
FWIW I have used type F since the 70's it was the poor mans shift kit...
Forty years is a long time. I think I'd change it.I have used type F for forty years, successfully . I see NO reason to change now.
Question - if you're running Dextron can you switch to type F by only doing a drain and refill and without draining the converter?
Them torqueflites really last, hunh! What part of "no reason to change now" dont you understand? LOL!Forty years is a long time. I think I'd change it.

If I'm not mistaken, Dex/Merc meets the Dexron III requirements if you cannot find straight Dexron III.
O’Reilly, Advance or Autozonk store brand Dex/Merc. Stuff is red, smells like, and has that feel of tranny fluid! Works just like it should. I’d spend my time wondering about ensuring no pan gasket, shift shaft seal or front pump bushing leaks. Well, I do at least!904 trans , manual reverse valve body, extra 2 quarts deep pan , 3500 converter, huge cooler.
