Yes, automatic transmission fluid is fine. it is the correct weight for standard suspension. The thicker the oil, the harder your front forks will be.

Fork oil for a 1980 Honda cb400 used on a trike

standard weight for that model is 10 wt. for your trike application you may want to go with 15 wt. Automatic transmission fluid is a good substitute for 10 wt. and was actually reccomended by Honda for years back in the day.

How to change fork oil

Take the weight off the front wheel, remove the big nut at the top of the forks, at the bottom of the forks you will see a small bolt head, this is the drain plug for the fork. Remove the plug and drain the old fluid out of the forks then replace the plugs before filling the tubes with the new fluid. Make sure you put exactly the right amount back in the tubes or you will have either a spongy ride ( not enough oil ) or a hard ride due to too much oil.

Front forks what goes in them highdrolic fluid or brake fluid

Not brake fluid or Hydraulic oil ( oil weight is the issue)
Drain forks ( bottom nipple) , remove top bold , be careful it is pressurized by spring . Use the right tool otherwise will damage bolt and your face.

Front forks should be sealed properly, fork seal should be intact, no water or brake fluid in them. Right amount of fork fluid is imperative along with oil weight specification ( check manual and appropriate oil weight for your bike), wrong oil and amount can otherwise damage your forks.
