Is anyone using Mobil 1 Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid in their GM
products, and, if so, any good or bad reports? Tow vehicles and 350+HP
especially of interest. TIA.

FWIW, one of my buddies using the Manual Synthetic fluid, went back to the
non-synth because "it was too slick." He claimed he could not speed stick
the 4 speed in his vette at the drag strip because there was too little
friction to get the gears matching speeds, apparently leaving the trans in
neutral with engine going you know where. Making no changes except to go
back to the non-syn "cured" the problem. YMMV.
