You need fluid that meets Ford spec M2C-33F or G. If you put any of the Dexron fluids in they introduce clutch slip (to smooth out the changes in boxes that are designed to use it) but in a BW35 that slip introduces heat and means the box runs too hot. If your Motor factor doesn't know what it is, go elsewhere, or buy a gallon from ebay for about 20 quid delivered.
