should be able to do a basic rebuild on a th400 for much cheaper than $2000 assuming you or someone you know can remove it from the car. heck a new TCI, summit/jegs/monster/etc brand th400 is cheaper than that and they are considered "heavy duty". call around your town or near by bigger towns for some estimates.
i can't guarantee the type F will fix your issue but based on what ive read & heard for decades as well as my personal experience it should definitely help a slightly mushy shift to buy you some time or possibly last a very long time, if the clutches are totally shot then fluid probably wont help. just be sure you replace as much as possible, not just 2-3 qts from a pan drain & fill. the exchange process i mentioned works good & wont cause any damage if done 2 qts at a time.
good luck!
