Synthetic or Standard ATF for a rebuild Transmission?

Hello guys.

I just got my transmission rebuild, and was wondering if I can go straight with synthetic ATF like the Mobile 1, or should I just use the standard Dextron III till the transmission is broke in.

I know when breaking in a motor, they normally do not recomend synthetic.

The car is actually a 1990 300ZX TT. I also have a 1991 Q45 which is why I'm posting here, I seem to get quicker responces with the Q guys!

Thanks!

Either, but sythetic will have a sider performance envelope.

Whichever, installing an suxiliary ATF cooler woiuld do more, especially in Phoenix.
