Trans Fluid
Trans Fluid So I changed my old trans fluid out last weekend with Royal Purple Synchromax and it shifted into every gear without any problems. Yesterday, it started popping out of reverse and now I have to hold it in reverse to keep it from shifting out of gear. Every other gear works perfectly. Any thoughts on why this is happening?
Why would u put that oil? My friend put it and had nothing but problems. Don't listen to everyone thinks that royal purple is the best. Stick with dexron 3 on your manual trans.
Tremec actually warned about using RP when I called them. They recommended M1 or Dex 3. The mobil made mine grind into gear so I switched back to Dex and smooth shifting. One problem I havnt been able to get away from is the noise in neutral idling. Like rocks in a grinder. Both of the 2 t56s Ive had have done it though.

does it grind with the clutch encaged AND disengaged?
Well ****, that sucks! lol I'm not a big fan of Royal Purple either to be honest. I just figured this would be a good product and I was wrong. haha Looks like i'll be switching back to DEX 3. I'll let ya'll know how it turns out. thanks!

Verdad Gallardo I would stick with what the manufacturer says to use... I think the workings of that tranny are designed to work with the fluid characteristics of DexIII... I just remembered changing one of my clutches in my old 96 t56 and I put in something other than Dex...(dont remember what) I dropped the tranny again cause I thought I messed up the clutch assy becuase it wouldnt go into gear at a stop. I drained the new fluid again( so it would be lighter) and spilled it so I refilled it with new cheap ****. I found nothing wrong with my tob or slave so I just put it back in. refilled with dex and had no engagement problem. I didnt think about it till now. The only difference was the dexIII....
