Mobile One Fluid versus Syncromesh?

Just like it says, not sure which one to run. I'm running Mobile one right now in the tranny, but am thinking of switching to Syncromesh. Aside from the fact Mobile Ones 8 bucks a quart and Syncromesh is 17

haha, any reason to stick with Mobile One? I've heard M1 is way to thin for the T-56 tranny, I changed it around 20k ago but I'll have the car on a lift this weekend and am doing some other maintinence so I'm gonna go ahead and change it. Ive also heard SM helps with the notchy feeling our trannies can get sometimes?

Thats intresting...I know a few guys who are doin that. A local master tech is running Mobil one in his ten second car, but I did hear some good things about sycromesh. Any more opinions?

Pennzoil syncromesh is around $5/quart last time I checked. I put mobil 1 in my car this time and it shifts noticeable notchier than when it had the syncromesh in it.
