MGW shifter install and fluid change question
 

Just a quick question...
I ordered a MGW short throw 3650. The car has 34,000 miles and I'm gonna go ahead and change out the fluid while I'm at it. I hear royal purple is good so I guess I'll go with that. My question is should I go with "Royal Purple Max ATF" or should I use the "Royal Purple Synchromax". I read an article where they said to use the Max ATF but the Synchromax says it's for manuals. Does it really matter? What do you guys use?

I think it was jjgiants who recommended a mixture of two different but specific lubricants. Send him a PM, he made it sound like it made a huge difference in his trans.

the exact thing i did

ok thanks!

let us know how u like the MGW, i'm thinin' bout gettin' one. i've heard they're the best out there.

Go w/ the ATF. The Synchromax is probably made for the older trans which used thicker gear lubes instead of thinner ATF.

I run the
 

Synchromax

I'm very happy with Royal Purple Syncromax...

and yes it is designed for transmissions that require ATF.
