Synthetic manual tranny fluid??
When I first drive my max and it is cold out the 5sp is really sticky and clunky, I was thinking maybe if I switched to a synthetic(which are supposed to hold up better in the cold) it wouldn't be so bad. Anyone else done this? Also, will synthetic engine oil improve cold starts (not make it sound like its working so hard to start)

Ok, who makes good stuff?
I've seen that redline makes a manual tranny fluid, but its hard to get that stuff, how about mobil1? Their website only shows auto tranny fluid... What could I use that I could get at an autoparts store?
