transmission fluid type

i searched everywhere and looked in the DYI link. What trans fluid should be used in my 84 300D turbo? All I can find is use correct "MB" fluid. Does the MB fluid have an equivalent ATF type fluid? I know some are using synthetic but mine is red so I assume it is not. I only need 1 qt to full.

My local MB dealer uses Wolf's Head. Said Mercedes does not offer trans fluid.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
