[QUOTE="RJCobra, post: 2529997, member: 8393"] Here's some correspondence with the RP people. Starts from the bottom up. I may give it a try. Ray, RP Synchromax is a fully synthetic product having the viscosity of an atf which will give you good low temperature shift qualities. It has a low temperature pour point of -40 F. Depending on where you are located, winter shift qualities in manual transmissions can change drastically regardless of fluids if you live in an area of extreme cold (consistently below 0 degrees F) and the vehicle is stored outside. Note - wind chill temperatures have no effect on lubricants. The ambient temperatures would have to be consistently below - 25 F for the Synchromax to start being an issue. Those types of ambient temperatures do not occur routinely in 95 % of North America. Rubber shifter bushings, shift cables all can effect how a vehicle shifts at extreme low temperatures. Due to the high film strength technology built into the Synchromax, noise reduction is a typical observed improvement by most users converting from a Dexron ATF or GM Synchromesh to our RP Synchromax. Here is a quote from an end user that was received 7/13/05 via email "Hi, I just changed my transmission fluid (NV-3550) and transfer case fluid (NP-231) on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler to Synchromax.First off My transmission has never sounded so quiet. And their is a definite improvement in shifting. I cant wait until winter to see how good it works for cold shifting." Thank You, Rob Thanks for the emails and give us a try - I'm confident that you will see / feel the difference.
