I was told by a tranny guy to use Royal Purple Syncromesh (sp) its suppost to be better for the syncro's. Any thoughts?

That works but its more expensive. I use regular ATF. Do not use any kind of gear oil. That is not compatible with the synchros.

mobile 1 synthetic dextron III ATF
or
Honda ATF.
both of them work great, and the car shifts noticably nicer with them.
if you get the royal purple stuff, DONT get the manual trans stuff... its thick and ment to replace gear oil style manual trans oil.... its not ment for ATF type manual transmissions... they do make a ATF for that though.

didnt mean to insult you or anything.. its just that there are atleast two kinds that i know of...
----------
considering what a great improvement i got from the other two synthetic ATFs i used, im sure it will work great.
