you don't want to use atf.it's sticky compared to manual trans fluids.
my suggestion would be to try one of purple royal trans fluids or b&ms trans fluids

dont mind my opinion but in Puerto Rico they use motor oil 50 for standard transmissions in drag racing cars thats what I head from my cousin that owns a drag car down there.
