I used to use dexron 3 in my gz20 soarer which has an a340e and was recommended dexron 2. No problems but in hindsight i would have used toyota type 4 because of other people's recommendations.

funny how a fellow at abc auto pointed me in the way of valvoline type "d" as a dexron 2 oil....weird

I was chasing it up as well for my MA61, Dextron III is the fluid avaliable and is running through my gearbox and power steering for months now with no trouble. Since I could not buy/find the original Toyota fluid that was in there.
Cheers.

Use Toyota Type IV as mentioned above.
It is supposed to be far superior, esp for the A43xx boxes

o.k.
now the tougher question
synth
which one , why , if at all.
price is $10-20 per L and you need 5-6 L for a T-50
Pennzoil is $20
and quaker state is $10
Who uses synthetic in their gear box ?

I've bought some Redline Lightweight Shockproof for my W57, but only becuase I'm putting uber power/torque through it (well, not as much as some).
I will post results when I finally get to drive her.

In some cases Dextron III can wear out your auto transmission clutch packs faster DEPENDING on the Transmission spec.. Castrol make a ATF oil call "Transmax "M" which is the same spec as Dextron II ...
