Alex Kovacevic said:It's funny, I used to make fun of people at the track that shifted really slow. Then when I got my cobra I became one of those slow shifting people. It was so hard and notchy. I changed the fluid with sycnhromax by RP and it made a world of a difference. Now I can power shift the car easily[I still won't though] So much easier to shift. I've had it in my car for a year now, over 50 passes down the track, and 46,000 miles later my tranny still shifts like a hot knife through butter. Royal purple synchromax gets my vote for sure.

used it in my DSM's, 'n loved it, instant change in the shift feeling (tho is it plesebo? who knows)
This thread has been going on for ever but I just noticed something. I took my tranny apart to replace the input shaft (2004 T-56) and the blocker ring has paper on it. It is NOT CARBON FIBER. I have been running RP Synchromax for about 3000 miles and the paper seems to be intact. BUT, I am wondering if I should go back to the Dexron III just to be safe??ChicagoMike said:DO NOT run the synthetic ATF in the pre-1997 T-56 units. It will destroy the paper on the blocker rings. And do not run it in a manual trans with brass blocker rings either, because it will ruin those also.
Tremec changed the blocker rings to the carbon fiber type for the 1997 model year and synthetic ATF will not degrade these.
what kind of modifier did ya use?? lucas????????jamngamn said:Thanks for the tip guys. Royal Purple w/modifier. Smooth as silk.
