Royal Purple Synchromax fluid
Always had good experiences with it in my TKO-600 too.
Royal Purple Synchromax fluid
Many of us that race our Corvette C5 and C6 on the road courses use Royal Purple Synchromax fluid vs. the GM Synchromesh in our 6-speed transmissions. Better formula with more desired properties.

Have you recovered enough to do some driving and if so how do you like it?
It sounds like the wait was worth it. FWIW I've found atf to be the best all around fluid in my 6060. Syncromax is nice as long as the temps will support it but when colder weather comes around it doesn't play nice. I've been told that redline works very well but have yet to try it.
What Redline fluid are you using? Is it the D4...? Thats whats in my 3650...and I love it!!
Waiting on my T-56 to come in. I hear the shifter supplier screwed up on the anodizing...so another delay. sigh
Hey gmitch what is ur 1st gear top speed??
I'm getting mine installed this week.
Also what rear end gears do u have??
An anodizing screw up…..who cares??!! It’s not like you can see the thing once its in the car. I would run a pink shifter if it meant not waiting, LOL!
Thats what I said!! Send it over now with the pink shifter!!!! lol
Surprising to see 3rd and 4th gears are identical to the 3650...
+1 GM/Pennzoil Synchromesh is all I've used in my 03 Cobra T-56 and my shifts have always been dependable and notch free. I occasionally get kicked out of gear, but that' because of a bad granny shift.gm synchromesh seems to be the best, with a little Lucas conditioner added. ( 1 Pint )
I'm going to bull the trigger on this in the next couple of months as the 2nd gear in my3650 is being a pansy...
That said the two options are as follows...
2.66:1st 1.78:2nd 1.30:3rd 1.00:4th 0.80:5th 0.63:6th
2.97:1st 2.10:2nd 1.46:3rd 1.00:4th 0.74:5th 0.50:6th
I'm guessing the 2.97 would be best for my current application
-- a 433rwhp@6k Saleen Series 6.5 3v.... 3.73 rear gear.
but damn, why can't i have the 5th and 6th for the 2.66 model. It seems more appropriate.
I'm afraid the 0.50 6th will only be good for long distance highway cruising and 30MPG

2.97:1st 2.10:2nd 1.46:3rd 1.00:4th 0.74:5th 0.50:6th
Probably because those aren't the right ratios.How come the shorter geared version has a taller 5th and 6th gear?
While the tall ratio has a shorter 5th and 6th???
Doesn't make sense...
