Yes, I never did get it that folk talk about it so much. Don't get the cdv thing either. Maybe I just don't appreciate the difference. To be honest I very seldom push the loud pedal down hard untill I'm nicely in second gear anyway. The tyres cost too much.

I had this 50/50 mix done earlier this year, and it’s made the change 100% better in my eyes.Mangozac wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2017 1:33 pmI too have heard that suggestion but I didn't really feel like experimenting with it. Although simply changing the fluid helped, I do think that there is more room for improvement!Das882 wrote:I contacted Opie oils to see which Millers oil I should use and I was advised to use Millers TRX 70W80 GL5 and if my gear change was stiff to mix it 50/50 with ATF DM. I have never heard of mixing gear box oils but might be worth a try seeing as they're the experts?. I had a T5 gear box in my Cossie engined TVR which used ATF so it's not uncommon.

The best my gearshift ever was was with the synchromax and a fresh clutch bleed. Strangely it reverted to its older ways not too long after so I’d be interested to hear how you get on with it Jon.
