I just filled my tranny up with AMSoil and the shifting is great but now it rattles. Anyone else notice this or have a solution?
It's pretty much gotta be. It wasn't making noise with oem fluid and it it's quiet when cold.
It's normal transmission noise just louder than it was before.

Drain fluid and put in oem.. see if it gets better. Alot of Amsoil fanboys here... so you'll get some posts soon. LOL
A good gear oil prevents the rattle. If you drove around with none it would rattle a LOT! There's a lot of stuff in there on the non-engaged gears that are just free spinning. They tend to rattle around a bit. I'm sure it's not damaging, it's just louder than it was and I don't like it 
I was thinking about going back to OEM but my amsoil came with some of that fanboy attitude, mostly because of the cost
It's quiet enough that guys with aftermarket exhausts might not notice it.
I might try the oil buschur sells as well.

138,000 miles on the oe Diaqueen. Auto-x and daily driven. Serviced every 30k religiously. No problems.
I purchased it from AMSoil.com website. It's the correct stuff.
Gear oil can absolutely cause more/less gear noise. Every car makes transmission noise to some degree. Changing the gear oil changes the sounds...
Everything works fine. I just changed the fluids because the tranny was out while i did the 2.3 swap. I guess I'll have to put something else in there now or be burned at the stake.
The fanboy comments were all tounge-in-cheek.

An increase in gear noise is understandable but a rattle? A rattle suggests something is lose and moving, not an increase or decrease in friction.
