Manual transmission fluid?
32k on the car and thinking it's time to change the tranny fluid, car doesn't seem to shift as smooth as it used to. I did some searching and there was a lot of varying opinions, usually people recommending Mobil 1, Redline, or Royal Purple.
Anyone have any thoughts on the best synthetic transmission fluid to use for our 3650s?

I added Royal Purple and it quieted the trans down a little and the shifts are a bit smoother. I'm sure that Amsoil, Redline and Mobil would do the same.

I've been running the Purple stuffs sense about the 5k mark (@ 22k now) and I didn't notice much difference. I'm thinking I might try the Amsoil or Redline around the 25-30k mark, if I don't goto a 6spd first

Either the RP Synchromax or time (break-in) greatly improved the shifting of my TR. Since it doesn't grind when cold anymore (I can hardly believe it either,) I think the synthetic oil is a big help.
Not cheap, but I'd use it again.
