Re: Mobil 1 Synthetic (HT)
I've read that several have changed, and almost all have commented on how much smother the shifting was . . . I've got seven thousand miles on my 'Z' but haven't changed yet.
I have read where several have changed to Red Line Synthetic, and seen where some problems with the shifter cones in the tranny. :)

In the past a TTC tech recommended Synchromesh and another non-synthetic brand. Here's what their website currently recommends:
What type of lube is recommended for my TREMEC transmission?
The following types of lube are recommended:
TR-3550/TKO - GM Synchromesh or Dextron III
TR-3650/T-45/T-5 - Dextron III
T-56 (Ford and GM) - Dextron III
T-56 (Viper only) - Castrol Syntorque
(Note the spelling of Dextron above :confused: )

Keep in mind Dexron, not Dextron is a fluid specification, and there are many brands that meet the spec. For example, Redline D4 ATF meets Dexron II, III (as well as Mercon).
