Based on your ability to waste money on transmissions and conductor plates, I would say screw the correct fluid, I'd use a good stout.

I run Wolfhead synthetic ATF in my trans. Been in there for 200k plus miles and still shifts flawlessly.
Im assuming you have replaced the electrical connector? Hope this helps.

In addition to the replacing plug for the wiring harness, clean the TCU with contact cleaner as well. Fluid wicks up the insulation on the harness and causes it to malfunction.
