Has anyone switched to synthetic ATF for their T-5? I am curious if there is 
much improvement in the smoothness of the shifting.  My T-5 is not near as 
smooth as I remember my stock MGB trans. being.

Heads UP: Are you really running enough fluid in your T-5?  The Camaro boys 
say 3.5 quarts (US). If you are only filling it up 'til it runs out the fill 
hole, remember in a Camaro or Firebird that hole was higher up (angled 
mounting bracket). When I change the fluid, I think I will jack up the right 
side to get more in. I really don't want to take the shifter back out to pour 
in the extra 1.5 quarts. The first time around, I could only get 2 qts. in 
with the car level. I poured one more in thru the shifter hole.
