Default Manual tranny fluid change

My C5 has just shy of 90K miles on it. I did a complete lube change front to back on it.

I switched to using nothing but Schaffer's in my Cummins deisel and have had great luck, so went with all Schaffer's synthetic in the C5.

The transmission shifts so much smoother and easier that it scared me a little. Almost like shifting a new car again.
Just thought I pass that little tidbit on.

Yep, after 90k miles, any fluid would have yielded a positive result.
