Synthetic ATF in the T-3650 transmission
I have a 2004 GT with the T-3650 manual transmission, and I still haven't been able to find a clear answer on if synthetic ATF will hurt the synchros over time. Right now I'm running AMS oil synthetic ATF and it seems a little notchy when i first start the car up in the cold. I want my tranny to last as long as possible. For those of you that have a T-3650 transmission what type of ATF do you put in there? Would you recommend switching back to the ATF recommended by the owners manual? Thanks.

I trust Tremec, I mean they engineered, designed and built it, I went FROM Royal Purple syn ATF, to regular old ATF

nope, I also did not notice a difference when I put in synthetic when I first got it, IMO there is no point in synthetic in the trans of a 3650, what are you benefitting?? more expensive, eats snycrhos(the weakest link in 3650s)

Thanks for the replies. I put synthetic in so I wouldnt have to change it for a long time, plus all I ever hear is how synthetics are so much better than conventional fluids. I dont understand how the synthetic ATF could eat the synchros or whats in it that would cause premature wear. I was thinking maybe Tremec says that they recommend dextron III because of a contractual obligation.
