What do you use for fluid in your T56 As title says, what does everyone use for fluid in their 6speeds? Anything special, anything seem to work smoother than others?

I read that the RP Synchomax isn't good for these trannys because it eats away at the blocker rings...seems everyone runs M1 synthetic ATF, anybody use synchromesh?

I used dextron 3 in mine and it shifted alot better than whatever came out of it. From what I am told the synthetic tends to ruin synchros? Get regular dextron thats just what I have been told.

Amsoil Here...
20,600 miles on the odometer now... first fluid change was probably at 2500-3000 miles to Amsoil ATF. No issues!
While on the oil topic.. Mobil 1 in the motor and Torco RGO in the differential!

right now RP feels fine to me and has been in for a few thousand miles. but ill change it after the rebuild if it eats up synchros. what about differential fluid? is the RP ok for the differential?
