If so what do you use? Anything for the syncros, specific fluid or just an additive maybe

GM Syncromesh in mine without the friction modifier (there are 2 types). Shifts are awesome and it is very smooth. Even when the fluid is cold it shifts easily.

I'm going to try Redline D4 next.

I started running Honda ATF in my 94 Z28 about 8 years ago and this car is still going strong at 95,000 miles. This was very highly recommended over on the CamaroZ28.com board. I put it in my 01 Z28 as soon as I bought it.

I use Syncromesh. Also, I think it was 6 quarts almost to the max.
