What do you guys think about synthetic tranny fluids? I've heard differing opinions on them...

There are very differing opinions on sythetic tranny fluid. It's a really strange topic. I've used Mobil 1 synthetic ATF for all of my cars and never had a problem. People claim that synthetic makes the trannys slip and go with standard fluid, but I don't see anything like that in my car.

Some advice; change trans fluid and filter every 30-40,000 miles, and use synthetic fluid. 200,000 at least shouldn't be a problem at all, if not more!

yeah..Ive got a black 98 GTP w/ almost 106k on it and have had it for about 5 weeks now..got it on Feb. 20th..All Ive got to do is get the sunroof realigned and flush the tranny and put in a cooler for it..Hopefully nothing else will happen..had the supercharger replaced about 30k miles ago and had the lower/upper intake gaskets done the day before I got the car(The prev. owner was really nice in doing that for me!!) Anyway..yeah its a fun car to drive! Just need to get a little better gas mileage though..15-17 aint quite cuttin' it w/ gas being 1.65 a gallon..!
