Default TR6060 fluid recommendation

The transmission in my 09 was shifting just slightly less than perfect, so I decided to change the fluid to try to fix it. In the past I've used amsoil in a couple vehicles and always noticed smoother shifting, so I decided to try it again. I did some research and decided to go with the torque drive atf. I just took it for the first drive with the new fluid and it seems to shift a little worse. Any suggestions on something better? Thanks

Syncro Shift ll gets a lot of good reviews. That's what I used.

I wouldn't use any aftermarket product other than lubes made by Mobil1. Otherwise, only GM fluids. Both have the highest number of engineers and chemists working on the issues. In another car, I had a very bad reaction in my manual trans to BG's products put in by an authorized dealer who didn't stand behind their work. This is factual so not an unwarranted slam on them. If you trust the other fluid makers, go ahead. I've used ams., rp, and others as well in the past. I don't any longer.

Yes. That is not correct for your application.

So long as the fluid is rated as Dexron III ATF , your fine.

If the fluid is too thick, then you run into sychro problems isntead.
