Default Tranny Fluid

Hey guys, my car is creeping up on 30k, and I'll be changing the tranny fluid soon. I'm no doubt using a synthetic, probably Royal Purple. I use Mobil 1 in the motor,and have had no first hand experience with RP, even though everyone says they love it. Anywho, should I use an ATF or the Synchromax stuff? I've heard arguments for both, so someone straighten me up.

Thanks,
Shawn

full synthetic ATF FTW!

Thats what the manual calls for (atf anyway). I run full syn aft in my trans.

IMO full syn is full syn, regardless of brand.

I put rp max atf in mine when i changed the clutch. Havnt driven it more than 3 miles since then (no insurance over the winter) but from what I did drive, it works great.

So plus 2 for ATF. Any first hand users with the Synchromax? [&:]
