ATF+3 substitute?

Ok,I am wanting to drain and fill the transmission pan. I have read that ATF+3 is the required fluid, and not to use ATF+4.
Well, it seems tat +3 no longer exists. Suggestions? Am I missing something?

Thanks, I'll just use the +4. Just wondering is all. I read that the +4 is synthetic, and the +3 isn't, and shouldn't mix. I was looking for clarification. I seem to think you all helped me. Big thanks!
