skool me on tranny fluid

[01darkblueTA]

what do you look for in a good tranny fluid to use in a MANUAL transmission? something that makes it quiet and you should notice a difference in how it shifts also correct?
well when i switched fluids and ran gm synchromesh i had also gone with a new clutch setup. so it was hard to tell what did what. over all i wasn't that impressed with the money i spent on fluid. yes it was quiet but it never really felt different for me. not to mention i think i had other issues as well but still. didn't really impress me.

what would you use for a t56 for fluid? i have to pick some up tomorrow and not sure what i should go with

what ever the manufactuer recomends???

I think I'm running specified 70wt gear oil in my T-5. Had a YS1 tranny in my integra that called for Honda fluid or regular engine oil, GM synchromesh was the best thing i ever did for it... For you: DEX III

I believe this is the AMSOIL recommend product for the T-56.

AMSOIL's MTF

hmm the amsoil don't seem to be a bad price yes it says to use dec merc III but i'm wondering what brand and what it does...

I use Royal Purple Syncromax in my T5 and am very happy with it.

[Iroc-Z]

Standard Dexron. Maybe you just need to learn how to drive?

[bluchev]

amsoil / royal purple *****. but if thats too expensive you could always get some pennzoil

i have generic ace hardware dex III atf in my t45. it has 135xxx on it and shifts like butter. it been in there for 3 years now.

Amsoil ATF is what I run in my 3550. Seems to work alright. You can add some friction modifier to help as well...

Assuming it is the original transmission in the car in his sig, that would be a non world class t5 which uses 70wt gear oil rather than ATF.

I'm thinking about ordering up some amsoil... next year maybe i'll just put some regular atf in there for now unless i can find amsoil today

[mstngmikegt]

Amsoil ATF...believe it was Dex III synthetic equivalent. Been in my T5 forever, tranny shifts great, smooth as ever with 108K on it. Good stuff.
