Just wondering if there is any type of oil that has been tested and prooven to be better than the standard TQ-95?I have a tranny cooler fitted to a standard auto, which allows me another 700ml of fluid over standard. Not that it means a lot.I talked to a guy at the Penrite stand on the weekend, he suggested a new full synthetic they have recently released. Not to sure about full synthetics though.Any tips?

Terebro Member 170 Member For: 20y 22d Posted 12/01/06 11:17 PM Share Posted 12/01/06 11:17 PM How did you find the feel of the shift after putting in the Transmax Z?My T56 has a very direct feel - I always know where I am in the gate which I like. However it's not the smoothest shift.Does the Transmax Z 'loosen' up the gearbox or does it exclusively make the shifts smoother?
