[Mgs] T35 Borg Warner auto fluid

[Jim Ray]

OK guys, here is the scoop on transmission fluid for a Borg Warner T35 
automatic. I have owned an MGB with a Rover V8 coupled to a BW T35 for 
over 25 years and I have always used Type F fluid in it. This is what 
the MGB Service Manual specifics and it is also the recommended fluid 
for the MGC which uses the same transmission.  I doubt any of the 
following are still available but this is what shown as approved brands 
for the automatic: Duckhams Q-matic, Castrol TQF, Esso Glide, Mobil ATF 
210, BP Autran B, Shell Donax T7, Texamatic Type F, Fina Purfimatic.

The attached photo is Walmart's brand and is the one I am using.

Hope this helps.

Jim Ray
