thanks for help me
With one phone call to Vanpelt Sales I located some limited production parts for rebuilding a '57 transmission that the local old-school transmission shop spent 3 months looking for and couldn't find.

Are you doing the rebuild, or a transmission shop?
If a shop is doing the work and they're giving you any kind of warranty, ask them so you don't void the warranty.

If you're doing the work ask the place that's supplying the parts, in case there is a compatibility problem.

The shop that rebuilt the Fordomatic in my '55 said to use Mercon transmission fluid.
It's the most chemically similar to the original Type A, which was discontinued decades ago.

The OP is in France so any recommendation they will give will most likely be an EURO lubricant.

MERCON V is the correct fill here.

Based on my experience having a shop rebuild my tranny, I would not ask for their opinion. The warranty is the least of your problems if it starts to damage itself. Tell them firmly that it should be Dex/Merc as stated previously, unless they have replaced the bronze plates etc. Shops don't rebuild fordomatics these days so unless they're truly a specialty shop, theyre out of their element. They also wont bother to open the manual. Rather they'll treat it like "other automatics" (bad move) and be inclined to use Type F cuz F = Ford or 1940s style hydraulic oil.

MINERAL OIL ... ?

That was used in MT of the period and has been upgraded several times since then.

Look for EURO that has the same SPEC NO. (if there is one). CASTROL should offer it.

EDIT -

GO HERE - https://www.castrol.com/en_us/united...nsmax-dex-merc

.. and discuss with the re-builder. I would think it is available in FRANCE.

HERE - https://www.castrol.com/en_us/united...nsmax-mercon-v

... is their MERCON-V equivalent.

Talk it over with the re-builder and see what his reaction is -
