346.75synthetic trans fluidABACUS::WENSINGFri Feb 14 1997 11:109
    Any info/opinions on synthetic transmission fluid?
    A cowroker says he used synthetic fluid on his truck and the shifting
    was noticably smoother afterwards (manual shift).  I too have manual
    shift.  First and Second gear are sometimes a little rough to get into
    until everything warms up a bit.  
    
    Any comments/info welcome.
    thanks.
    helge.
346.76CSC32::J_KALINOWSKIForget NAM?....NEVER!Fri Feb 14 1997 11:216
    
       Any GM vehicle built after 1988 already uses synthetic oil.
    Ford started around 1992, and Most chrysler vehicles still use ATF in
    the gearboxes. Check the owners manual.
