auto transmission fluid by jamesgreen

It's a specific type for the Jatco boxes. Available from Rimmers and similar.
Maybe post over in the opie oil section and see what they have to say.

Why not use the correct fluid, available from any Xpart dealer or Rimmers.

Personally I would do as Mick suggests.
Using other makes that they say are equivalents are not and have caused various problems in past that meant having to change again to correct fluid.
Following instructions from Rave you should also monitor on T4 (Testbook version 4.Computer Diagnostic System) and do at the correct temperature.

I don't know what Opie would say, and I only used the one from Rimmers.
I did this after using an equivalent that said it was suitable, from Castrol (a reputable company?), in my V6 Manual. The box was noticeably notchy when cold. I changed this for the MTF from Xpart / rimmers and it improved it no end. So personally I'm wary of companies saying their product is equivalent.
However, if someone is really 100% sure it's equivalent then it's worth looking.

They also do what is regarded as the correct fluid albeit now in a fetching blue bottle http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-VYK000040 ....... and they have stock.

It is, and is not the right one. See Mick's post. That stuff if I remember right, is OK for the power steering, though (but check and don't quote me).
