Driven Type-F is a high friction full synthetic automatic transmission fluid for racing and classic transmissions. The high static friction provides positive clutch engagement for quick, firm shifts, with faster shift response and reduced clutch slippage. It offers oxidation and thermal stability and wear protection under demanding conditions. Type-F chemistry was originally developed for older Ford automatic transmissions.

FAQ
What is Driven Type-F ATF for?
Type-F is a high friction full synthetic fluid for racing and classic automatic transmissions that call for a Type-F fluid, giving firm, positive shifts and reduced clutch slippage.
Is Type-F compatible with Dexron or Mercon?
No. Driven states it is not backward compatible with Dexron, Mercon, or other modern ATF specifications.
When should Type-F be used?
Driven advises using it only where Type-F is specifically required by the manufacturer or transmission builder.
Why is Type-F called a high friction fluid?
Its high static friction provides positive clutch engagement for quick, firm shifts and faster shift response.
