I've put around 5,000 miles on the car since the fluid change and it's a little better shifting 1-2 & 2-3 but I'm still not happy having to granny shift to keep the nibbles/grinds in check. I get my 56 down off the lift every once and awhile and am surprised how well it shifts(1970 Muncie 4 speed/Hurst shifter). It's stiffer shifting then the Z06's transmission but goes into gear with no syncro nibbles/grinds.

seems not everything gets better as the technology evolves...
