I've read some are using atf. I have two questions, what is the advantage and are the different types, grades, if so which one to use?

Probably me :D

I"ve been using Dexron III since 2013 when I built a motorcycle alloy six plate clutch with interchangeable rear sprockets (46, possibly 45 minimum) for race use. It got tested on a bed wetter's* dyno prior to track use & the whole thing was an instant success, though racing has been side lined.

However, I tried it in a slipping road engine scootRS six plater that I had been nursing & it cured it, so been using & fitting it to other engines since.

Not suitable for those prejudiced die yards that follow the crowd, but their loss ;)

* Obviously, I do bear grudges.....

Any Dexron III is suitable. I got mine from Europarts, though one litre is ample for one engine....
