Default Tranny fluid

Is it worth it to buy some special tranny fluid? Like synthetic or B&M trick shift or super shift? Has anyone actually noticed a difference?

Here is a link to super shift. Is this good?

I have regular fluid now and a trans cooler. If I was to change I would need a tranny flush. How much of it would I need to buy to completely flush the old one out?

I personally like to stick to regular Dextron III ATF. I've never seen any need to use anything else. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

B&M is not rec.in trannys with eletronic parts.I also have used Mobil 1 atf and dextron 3 both made the trans shudder.I talked with a local tranny guy and said to use the old type F and just add some anti slip additive.I havent had a shudder since or a problem one.The total flush is going to be about 12 to 13 quarts.
