Yeah ATF +3 does cause more slip so I guess more wear/heat.

The switch from Dexron to the ATF spec for Chrysler auto's came somewhere between the A518 and 47RH/1994 timeframe.

Mopar started using a new clutch material which begat the Chrysler 7176 spec (ATF+ whatever). A few years later they released a TSB spec'ing ATF+4 for all Chrysler automatics except a few specific models of which, the 1st gen trannies were included. The current Dex fluid is VI, a GrpIII synthetic and would be the most appropriate for any 727-based Chrysler auto up to and including the A518 1st Gen OD trans. DexIII would be fine as well, if you can still find it. You can use ATF+4 in those trannies, but it will run hotter due to the friction modifier. You can even use the old type F if you are interested in getting the firmest possible shift along with a shift kit/valvebody for racing. If it says ATF+4 on the stick use ONLY that. Dex in an ATF trans will destroy the torque converter under heavy loads. Bottom line: DexIII may have been factory fill, depending what clutches they built your early 2nd Gen trans with. In that case, DexVI is the current most appropriate fill. ATF+4 all others.
