Which transmission fluid?
Which transmission fluid do you recommend to quiet down a noisy/humming 6spd transmission? I have OEM Diaqueen in it right now, I've heard Amsoil might be a better alternative to quiet it down a bit.

My Diaqueen is a bit notchy at startup too. I usually let the car run for about 7 mins before I take off.

I'm already using OEM Diaqueen, I've stated that 3 times. I'm wondering what aftermarket fluid is out there that will quiet the transmission down a little? Maybe your statement has confused me.

T oil
I recently put Amsoil in my 06 MR. It definately shifts smoother.

What about noise? I'm mostly concerned with a noise issue.

Amsoil
Fortunately, my transmission was not noisy. Amsoil definately made it shift better.
