(Edit: Commenting on the use of ATF+4)
it's recommended in some of thenew gear boxes. Will it work in a T350? probably.
I'm going to stick with the tried and true from-the-factory fluid, regardless of what anyone says.

All 3rd-5th + reverse brake synchro material is paper based and will deteriorate in improper fluids. This is why the factory fluid must be used - it is formulated to work with paper backed synchronizers.

Don't use BG Syncroshit. I had it in my car for 10k miles, then started getting grinding in 5th gear. May have been a clutch related issue, but it's shifting a lot better now with mopar fluid and a new clutch.

I reccomend adding lucas engine additive along with you oem fluid. it says on the bottle for use in light duty manual transmissions, I tried it once in mine and it elliminated any hard shifting I was having and it's running better than ever. Add it to your oil too it's good stuff...
You can also try a quick lube if you don't want to go to the dealer for the fluid. I know jiffy lube carries what they call GL-4 which is made by pennzoil and conforms to factory specs. I've had it in my tranny for over a year with no problems.

I've had the Mopar ATF+4 in my transmission for nearly 50k miles... I've changed it twice, once a year and believe me, this trans takes a lot of abuse and is obviously used quite a bit.
No problems at all.
It actually shifts smoother than the MTX fluid in the cold.
