Two transmission questions; what kind of fluid? 1800 1971

Type F is correct for the BW35 tranny. If it seems to be shifting at too high an RPM the kick down cable may need to be adjusted. It's attached to the throttle linkage at the firewall. Pressing the throttle pulls the cable, so if you adjust it so it pulls it less, that should lower the shift point RPMs, in theory, anyway. At any rate a fluid change to the type F is in order.
