I am planning to use 2 quarts of neosynthetic and two quarts of GM synchromesh. I am using mobil synthetisc right now and I can't say that I like it too much. It is too slippery for the synchros to wrok properly so I end up having to be extra careful.

If anyone has any suggestions about my mix let me know.

What does everyone thikn of Tranny oil cocktails? Should I try it, or should I just stick with what works? I have this feeling that using two different oils might make them separate and the whole mix won't flow well through the tranny. I am thinking of just using GM synchromesh and leting it be. Unless someone has some other advice for me...

redline

just put redline in tonight. took it for a ride after and noticed smoother shifts. many in my area swear by it. i might even switch my motor oil over. also put in rear diff.
