I didn't either. However, I wouldn't be the first to say I freaking LOVE the stuff. GM did an excellent job in their research and production of this fluid, it's worked wonders in my S. The only notchy shift is 1-2 during cold starts and this stuff really helps. It actually eliminated my problem for the first 2-3k miles, but came back. Still no where near the horrible feeling using anything else though.....

 

If by "smooth" you mean "sloppy", no it isn't.

 

i get it too! but i kinda like it

 

MT-90 Red Line,and I change it,every second engine oil change,works fine ,better than GM.
GM is ok for the first 2000 miles.
But you'll never get rid of the mechanical feel(rifle bolt action)on MY 99-02;it's built like that !

 

The shifter on my 05 is crisp and predictable. I have no complaints.

 

O.K.who here has the most miles there GMSMFM lubed tranny, and do you still think it smoother than brand X ? opinions please. thanks.

 

to reiterate, anyone who have a butter smooth shifter is lying. it clicks with a notchy feel in every gear unlike any other normal stick car. if ur grinding, then that's a problem. but between 1-2 it is very difficult to shift smoothly and engage. i've found that it will only be smooth if the rev is at 2.5k or redlining.
