    MT or AUTO?

    If MT I would go for uncle scotty's cocktail..the best stuff around. IMHO
    1qt Redline lightweight shockproof
    1qt Pennzoil Synchromesh
    2qt Castrol HypoyC 80w-90

    If auto
    Amsoil seems to get good reviews

    True. Amsoil and redline both have fluids that are not recommended for synchro's. The stuff is just to slippery for them to work properly. I am going to go out on a limb and say that Taras probably has the bad stuff. It might work good now, but come talk to me in 20k (if it makes it that far).

    can't agree more. I actually had redline ns in the tranny, which should be good....but after a few miles my synchros were crying. Switching over to the Cocktail really helped and the car shifts smooth as butter.
