Thanks for all the information. I think i'm afraid to try the synthetic now. I will probobly fill my converter with Dextron VI when i install it and dump and fill the tranny with the same.

TCI has a racing fluid that is supposed to have foam inhibiters and a bunch of other fancy stuff in it. I've had good luck with it.

Redline Oil has an entire lineup of synthetic ATF here:

http://www.redlineoil.com/products_g...59&subcatID=19

I used Redline Hi-Temp Synthetic ATF in my built 4L60, and now since my built 4L80E calls for a Type F fluid, I'm using the Redline Racing ATF. Working great and my tranny temps dropped 20 degrees.

I've heard that B&M Trick Shift is simply Type F fluid. Their description of the effects seems to match as well.

Fortunately I had a friend who worked at the local Chevy dealership and they replaced it under warranty. Once is enough for me. Screw me once shame on B & M cause they ain't gonna get another chance ! In this world you pays your money and takes your chances .Like ole W.C. Fields said, " there's a sucker born every minute ".

That was also 36 years ago.
I run B+M Trick Shift in my TH400 race trans, Never had a problem and the trans was rebuilt last winter and there was nothing wrong with it.
