It does sound like a big jump from ATF. It's shifting great, though. And it was 45 degrees when I went for a test drive.

My tranny never liked to go in reverse. The only way was to go to 1st, then reverse. Even then I'd sometimes get a grrrr and had to double-clutch. Now, it seems to be so much better.

This worries me...>>The newer tranny's like T5's, Tremecs, et.al, were designed with different synchro plates that I believe are paper backed and require the ATF to work smoothly and extend their life. <<

Although I haven't found any explanation for the ATF recommendation in any of the tranny/Tremec sites, perhaps I should revert...
