Dexron III ATF is what the manual recommends.

Save your $ and get a quality DexIII -spec. ATF. If you must go synthetic go with Mobil 1 AFT. You will need to buy 4 qts.

Well, this is a manual forum and that where the answers were directed. But, the reasom autos stick with non-synthetics( ATFs) is the type of friction marerials used( yes, the bands are included here) synthetics attack the glue that bonds all the little paper bits together. This is also why its not a great idea to put synthetics in a T56. Many T56s were built with similar paper-based linings on the synchronizer blocker rings.
