redline d4 is very good.....but like any "synthetic" in the T56 it is not recommended if you have paper blocker rings. It may be because Tremac has not tested that specific brand or "synthetics" period are not compatable
I don't recall when Tremec (BW) went from paper to the newer carbon but from what I have "read" the 97 and older T56 had paper blocker rings
if synthetics do in fact not get along with the paper blocker rings....it will take some time so people who change to synthetics and say "works better" for whatever reason they have....would be good to know what "long term" effect, if any, they had
If your T56 has been "rebuilt", ask the builder what is compatible. My $02 is the sticker on the side of the t56 is pretty clear Dex3.

the trans has already been gone through and has some "upgrades" (carbon blocker rings, brass fork pads, etc...) so a synthetic should be fine.

Have not used the Royal but have the D4 and it did smooth out cold notchy shifts.
Royal purple doesn't have the best reviews here at tech but I have not used it personally. The D4 I have used and it was definitely better than and of the dex alternatives I tried. I am trying AMsoil this time around. If it doesn't work out I'll go back to the D4.
