I used GM Syncromesh in mine. Cost me a couple bucks to buy it at a dealership but I haven't had any issues with it.

Why not follow the manufacturer's recommendation - Dexron III?

Would just get better fuel milage. That's the only reason to use ATF.

NO. The royal purple has an additive that is know for eating blocker ring material. You run the risk of premature blocker ring wear if you use it and not to mention we don't warranty against it since tremec tells you it is not an approved fluid to use.

Thanks,

I thought I had read that some place. Then what do you recommend?

We use Mobil 1 atf in the trans. There is an additive in RP, that was proven to attack the adhesive that binds the blocker ring material to the blocker rings.

When did you discover this??? I PMed you guys in Feb asking basically the same question and you said RP was fine. Thats what my car is full of now.......

I have heard that problem was fixed in the later T56 trans. Or that most of the cars that have been running it and had problems were earlier models. I know some guys who have used it for 40K+ miles and have had no issues.
