As a point of clarification, there are different "multi-car" atfs on the market. There is the multi-car which lists the GM Dexron fluids as its main "target". There is the multi-car which lists "Import Brands" (i.e., Honda and others) as its main "target", too. Finally, there is the multi-car which lists "universal" in its title (as the Castrol Transmax Universal/CVT). To see what's what you HAVE to read the back of the container, where the main spec of the fluid is mentioned.
From what I've read, which includes the 1995 LH owners manual, it was acceptable to use Dexron III fluid in those transaxles, BUT with the Chrysler-sourced friction modifier additive used in it. Allegedly, using only Dexron III without the additive would result in clutch failures. The ATF+ fluids came soon after that, with the ATF+4 being a syn fluid for better longevity and no atf seal compatibility issues (from an old Usenet bbs FAQ posting by Dr. David Z., who ran that site back then). A few years after 1996, the ATF+ fluids superceded that old recommendation and should be a better way to do things.
For use in a normal rwd 3-speed TF w/o a lock-up torque converter, even the old Type A Suffix A atf should work (which pre-dates 1968 when the Chrysler spec mimicked the GM Dexron spec). The later fluids would have much better additive packages for cleanliness and such, I suspect. Even the Ford Type F spec, too, which was somewhat popular among the Mopar "hot rodders" back then, as a less expensive alternative to B&M Trick Shift atf).
A LOT can depend upon one's preferences and the basic cost of the fluid.
Just some thoughts,
