    I am going to be installing my new TCI3000 and was wanting to put a real good tranny Fluid back in. Does anyone have experience with Amsoil Synthetic ATF?

    I am very pleased with the Amsoil Motor Oils, but never used the ATF.

    For performance applications I always hear not to use synthetics due to the fact that they are too slippery. Normal dinosaur fluids are best for IMO, you'll need the friction for the clutches.

    Thats kind of what I figured. That stuff is expensive, their website shows it to be $108.00 for 12 quarts.
    I'll probably just go the old route with some lubegard additive!

    Thanks

    Read the manual on the converter. Yank recommends regular trans fluid.
