    Correct 1963 Transmission Fluid

    My 1963 Ford Shop Manual states that a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission uses "Rotunda Automatic Transmission Fluid, Ford Part No. C1AZ-19582-B (Ford Spec. M2C33-D). If not available, use transmission fluid marked Type A, Suffix A."


    Type A Suffix A ATF is available from Coastal Unilube, Inc., P.O. Box 2048, West Memphis, Arkansas 72303, as Product Part # 11501. See: http://www.warrenoil.com/ "Coastal Type A Automatic Transmission Fluid is blended to provide outstanding performance and is recommended for use in all automatic transmission fluids requiring Type A fluid." A case of twelve one-quart bottles is available at Petroleum Service Company (PSC) for $24.92 + $16.53 shipping. See: http://www.petroleumservicecompany.com/11501.html

    Type F here as well. Probably more important to replace it with the same type of Fluid that was in it, assuming it was working fine.

    Sometimes that's hard to tell if you don't know the history but I think Type F would be a safe bet. I'm pretty sure my C4 is also using Type F.

    I just filled mine with Type F - but it wasn't as readily available as it used to be. Finally found some at Walmart of all places.

    If a tranny builder says use "X" - use "X" I say. At least he'll not be able to say "I won't cover it" as long as you use what he told you to use.

    I'm gonna Google this too... curiosity.

    It has all to do with the clutches the material they use today call for the dextron /mercon fluid. the old clutches used type F but kelly said it is ok to use the newer fluid with no harm...jh
