Its funny you say AMSoil is no good. Devin before boostin performance was tuning my car one day and he asked 1 question. who built the trans? it feels so good. He thought it was a shep trans. He was way off. My boy built the trans. What was in it the trans? It was a Stock 1990 trans with just bronze syncros and Amsoil 75W-90. I put in well over 7K+ miles in less than 1 yr on that trans. I'll put into to perspective of how I drive vs a regular DSMer! Here is how it was in 2011. My schedule is busy so while I didn't have time to drive the car it got upgrades. I don't drive my car alot. As in amount of days. But when I have the time to drive her I be so happy.... I DRIVE HER! I LOVE MY CAR!! I don't understand how most DSMers don't do anything or go nowhere when they can. I don't just be driving 1hr but hours and hours at a time like 2 to 5hrs in one day! Usually within 40 mile distances. On highway having fun, to meets, cruises! Some days putting 400-500+miles in a surrounding area. That 3K+ is actually just a few hundred miles under 5K adding in tuning etc. So trans was put in the car in late 2010 but it's really only been within like a of 4 month total period of hard hard driving. Then the 11 passes come into play. a few at 124mph but most of them at 132mph or over.
