Two transmission questions; what kind of fluid? 1800 1971

I'm restoring a '71 1800. The transmission is a bit rough--especially from 2nd to 3rd. (RPMs get very high before shifting. I'd tell you how high, but my tach doesn't work!) I drained and replaced the fluid and filter, and added a trans fluid conditioner (forget the name).
Questions: 1. What kind of FLUID to I use? My Volvo shop said Dextron, which I used. Should I have used Type F? 2. Any tips for making the shifting smoother--without tearing open the tranny? THANKS for your help!
