[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 10474901, member: 112023"] That's the wrong fluid for a T56. The proper Amsoil fluid would be [URL="http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/atf.aspx?zo=1859448"]Amsoil Synthetic ATF[/URL] Joe (Jomo1994z71), I know you like the Penn synchromesh, but wish you would have chosen the Red Line D4 ATF or Amsoil Syn ATF. I've tried them all, but the Red Line and Amsoil have always shifted better, especially in cold weather. So many other factors than viscosity alone that go into blending a premium transmission lubricant. Things like base stock, additives, viscosity, etc.. Tremec has only tested Mobil 1 ATF in their transmissions, which is why they don't recommend anything else. It doesn't mean nothing else will work, or is better suited for their transmissions. [B]*Before you read my comments below, please note that I'm not saying BG isn't a good product. I have friends in the auto repair industry that swear by it.
