B&M Trickshift Vs. Mobil 1 ATF

Yesterday i was stocking up ATF on the shelfs and noticed that B&M has a synthetic ATF that "exceeds mercon dex III req.'s" which surprised me because i remembered B&M only selling Hotshift and Trickshift for old trannies (like the TH350 and sorts).
-The prices are similar
-Both Synthetic
-Both recommended for harder driving conditions

Only difference i can come up with by looking at the bottles was that the B&M fluid is blue.

I used the original Trick Shift in my Chevelle, 455 Cutlass and my '90 Accord. In all three, it noticably improved shift feel and quickness. I have never used the synthetic version but if it works like the original, it would be worth switching.

After I put it in my Accord, it would bark the tires on a 3/4 to full throttle 1-2 upshift.

Should be, yeah. The B&M ATF has friction modifiers so the clutch packs grab harder and faster on shifts. Noticable improvement in shift feel in my Accord, Chevelle and Cutlass.

Pep Boys used to carry it, maybe they still do. Summit Racing would have it, so would any domestic performance shop in your area.

Sorry if im 11 days late on this but, i guess its never too late.

Advance Auto should have it, the one i worked at had it stocked right next to the M1 Synthetic.
