As I mentioned in my first C/GT post, it shifts very stiffly. The C uses
essentially the same box as a B. I therefore assume that it too uses
regular engine/motor oil. I am wondering if a synthetic oil would aid in my
shifting. It does have overdrive which I don't want to donate to the cause
of smoother shifting. Thoughts? Will the synthetics (Castrol Syntec or
Mobil 1) be too slippery for the overdrive? If not, what weight? I have
seen some very wide range synthetics (5W50), would this be preferable? Do
the viscosity enhancers break down slower in synthetics than in petroleum
based oils? As I do burn just a wee bit in the engine, I won't go synthetic
there, but the tranny is another story. It doesn't appear to leak, so I
will not be dumping a lot of expensive oil. I turn to the wisdom of the net....
