Have any of you guys used this and is it worth doing?

Been running it for a couple of years. No significant difference. Maybe a little easier to shift...

I put it in my trans at about 5,000 miles. Initially i felt no difference, but after a few hundred miles I felt a slight improvement in shifts.

I was trying to decide between Royal Purple or Mobil 1. Ended up going with Mobil 1 because it was so much cheaper.

No dramatic feel in change but I did it when the car only had about 1,500 miles on it.

Did the Royal Purple in my trans at 500 miles. Haven't really noticed much of anything. Maybe slight sift improvement. It's defiantly purple!

How about that second gear grind when the trans is cold?
