B & M Trick Shift?
So I used to use this stuff in my mud toy's transmission. I really like the way it felt. I've done numerous searched to find someone using this in their t56 and all I have come up with is a few guys mentioning it in passing. So my question is, does anyone know if this is good **** to put in a t56? Anyone running this fluid? Any horror/success stories?

I wouldn't use it for two reasons. One, it's expensive and if you are going to spend the money, put a name brand synthetic in it. Two, it's not intended for it. The T56 calls for just basic Dextron/Mercon II fluid.
Would it work? Probably so but I doubt you would see any difference in it at all over plain old off the shelf ATF.

If it is the same trick shift I am thinking of, it is merely a higher friction transmission fluid like the old for Type F fluid. It was was supposed to firm up the shifts by reducing automatic transmission clutch disk slippage. I am not sure that is a great idea in a manual transmission, but I am not an expert on late model manuals. That last time I rebuilt a manual transmission, it had brass synchros.
