Manual Trans Fluid
What are you guys running or suggesting. I am going through and changing all the fluids on the ride, wondering what you guys are running in the Manual Trans?
I did some searching and Royal Purple seems to pop up. I'm kinda between Royal Purple or GM stuff. Just wanted to gather your experineces with this. Thanks

I switched to this in the first few thousand miles: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o03_s00
Felt much smoother, so far been good. Otherwise I've heard the Royal Purple is good too!

Factory fill..AC Delco!
Makes a huge difference changing fluids after break in. Don't forget the rear end fluid as well.

I did the differential fluid and the fluid that was in there looked really dirty after about 2k miles. I didn't do the transmission though, did you guys notice a difference replacing the stock fluid with fresh stock fluid?

I was doing both trans and rear diff... Was going to stick with AC Delco on the rear but was looking closer at royal purple for the trans.

I used Amsoil and it made the trans shift smooth.

I spoke with the Tremec tech rep at Autorama last week and he stated just make sure it's a full synthetic.

Absolutely...eliminated the resistance when up and down shifting. Highly recommend it!!

As an update on this subject, I gave Royal Purple a call getting a few details on their trans fluid, decided to ask the tech while I had him on the phone about the rear end fluid. Apparently Royal Purple already has the additive needed for our Limited Slip added to the fluid already. I didn't know this ha, maybe some already knew but either way I'm going Royal Purple for both trans and Rear. I will update on this after I change everything out.
