Built_Well:
If have not already checked out the part numbers for the clutch pack (aka clutch "frictions" or clutch "disks") you aught to do that before switching the type of ATF you use. If the numbers are different, I would say DO NOT change your fluid type. Here's why:
In an automatic transmission, the clutch pack makes up a critical part of what's called a "locking" torque converter. The locking torque converter is a major part of all modern automatic transmissions because it helps an automatic transmission almost mimic the fuel economy characteristics of a manual transmission. It does this by reducing the "slip RPM" or "% slip", which is comparing the RPM's of the "crankshaft side" of the torque converter to the RPM's of the "transmission side" of the torque converter.
Without the clutch pack, power would be transferred through the torque converter via fluid momentum acting on the vanes in the torque converter. This requires a certain % slip in order to work, and thus wastes gas by heating up the ATF.
With the clutch pack, the clutch can be pulsed (it is usually controlled via pulse-width-modulated signal to a solenoid valve that sends fluid pressure to engage the clutch) or fully engaged to reduce engine RPM's and heat in the ATF.
So you see, in normal operation the clutch pack is continually cycling on and off, and pulsing constantly; it is engaging and disengaging very rapidly (3-20Hz) all the time. In order for proper % slip to be maintained at all times under all load conditions with the fluid pressure that is available, the clutch friction compound and the friction modifiers, VI's/viscosity, film strength, and additive package must always sing in perfect harmony. The friction elements and fluid literally are designed for each other. Otherwise you will lug the engine or have rough clutch engagement due to agressive friction coefficient, or you will over-rev the engine because of weak friction coefficient preventing enough engagement to transfer engine power. In both cases the fluid and the transmission (starting with the clutch friction elements) will wear out much too fast.
So don't be too quick to swap fluid types!
Incidentally, IMO this is also why any and every modern AT should have fluid changes that are at least as frequent as specified in the owner's manual, even with synthetic fluid.
Sorry if I rambled too long!
