dexron/type F
What happens in you put type F in your tranny when it's low, when it calls for dexron? I've often wondered what the difference is, and have never really gotten a straight answer.

Maybe we should do a search...? I don't recall anything on the differences,I guess I'll ask my trans/mech friend. But I'm guessing the basic make up is similar,with differences being in the friction modifiers for the different types of bands/clutches/valves...

I screwed up and put the type F in when it calls for mercon dexron. I just need to know if this is gonna cause a problem. It was been driven a couple hundred miles and it seems to work, but the shifts feel very soft to me. As I just bought and got this truck on the road, I don't know how it shifted before, so hence the reason for the question. Thanks
