Really? All of my research has steered me away from the Syncromesh (and towards Shockproof).
BoostJunkie, 1st gear has been fickle since I first purchased the car from Mastro 2 years ago, which is why I switched to Redline 75w90NS in the first place. Was there 'Extra-S' already in the trans when I bought it, or would it have been some other juice?
I doubt you bought it with the Extra-S already in it. It most likley had the original fluid in the trans dependeing on the mileage.
