Vince is exactly right here - changing to the Amsoil MTF (as I did) makes a HUGE difference - the shifting is much smoother and no more grinding from 2 to 3; however, the tranny is NOT buttery smooth - it still is a bit notchy, but with the Amsoil EVER so much better! I'll bet it's not the synchro's........
