TH350 - What fluid?
I'm gonna do my transmission service for my TH350; what brand and spc of fluid should I use? It has no leaks, and is not burnt, but is probably ready to change; also if I cannot do a complete flush, will it suffice to change the fluid again in say 2 or 3 days of driving, to get a better ratio of clean fluid?
Yep thats what I use

That's what I went ahead and used...took a little over 3 1/2 quarts and the pan looked clean, and have no leaks so I'm good to go; next time in a few weeks I'm getting it flushed and an auxliary cooler (Heavy duty Ultra Cool) installed.

shift kit
a lot of shift kit manufactuers say to use type F because it has less friction modifiers and holds tighter. thats whats in mine and it works fine. mine has a shift kit in it. i think either fluid will work

Ready Reference for Lubricant and Fuel Performance
Driveline Lubricants — Automatic Transmission Fluids
Automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) are among the most complex multifunctional fluids available because they serve many purposes in the transmission, including:
* Heat dissipation
* Wear protection
* Lubrication
* Foam inhibition
* Shift quality
