you are correct.
you wont believe the difference this fluid makes when the tranny is still cold. I have 0 gear noise w the MGW shifter, Cobrabob gasket, and penzoil fuild. I also did the firewall adjuster and quadrant at the same time and the clutch pedal feels like a honda.

I take out the fill plug and put a pan under it. Then fill from the top (with the car level) until the fluid runs out of the fill plug. Reinstall the plug, wipe down the side of the tranny then reinstall the shifter. I'll be changing to Synchromesh this summer.prttyboyfloyd said:

I've used Pennzoil Synchromesh and the tranny simply started shifting more poorly as it got colder. Switched to Castrol Dexron III and this T56 has never felt better.
Mobil 1 ATF is good too....
syncromesh is recommended from the t-56 pdf file I have. Liberty's said to run syncromesh as well. Pennzoil syncromesh is the same as the GM stuff. I bought some at the local NAPA for way less than GM wanted at the dealership.
And you can get it for half that at NAPA. Penzzoil makes that fluid and gm rebadges it in their own container and doubles the price.
