As long as you do not buy Dexron 5 you should be fine

go to O'reilly in Ft Payne, see Joe (), or Rainsville and see Brandon, and get multipurpose atf fluid. Help drive my stock prices up by not shopping at the A-places!!

Autozone did show the 3650 but the seal was N/A.

seal should be a national part number 710431, but national's online catalog isn't very clear on that...
good luck finding that seal in stock anywhere. Closest O'Reilly to you stocking it is in Arab

Thinking about it some more, it probably is not a big deal to not use synthetic fluid. So I wouldn't worry about it.

Synchromesh does not have the friction modifiers that are friendly with fiber lined blocker rings, Synchromesh was designed for transmissions using brass blocker rings. Dexron/Mercon III is next to impossible to find anymore and the newer IV & V are way different in terms of additive packages, I would run C4 hyd fluid before I used Dexron IV or V!!!! Now onto synthetic fluids, They require a special friction modifier to work correctly in a trans with fiber lined blockers. Go find an Allison dealer in your area and get the Allison brand synth auto trans fluid. It comes in 1 gal jugs or 5 gal buckets and for the price is cheaper that going to Vatozone or comparable stores, Plus it has the friction modifiers in it(folic acid based if I remember correctly).
