'98 Z28 M6 shifting......

Gentlemen,
The M6 in my '98 Z28 doesn't shift as smooth as I think it should. With 83K on it I know the synchronizers may have some wear but I was wondering if anyone knows of any additive made that might help smooth it up?

Re: '98 Z28 M6 shifting......

You could try some synthetic ATF if you can actually get ahold of it, it's usually pretty hard to find. I think redline makes some but it's pretty expensive. I'm not sure how much it will help but it's worth a shot, since I've noticed that shifting is a lot easier in warmer weather, so a synthetic that is a little more consistent may help. I don't think there really are any additives that will help. It's probable that some company has thought up something that says it makes it easier to shift, but you can't replace a synchro assembly with fluid.

Also, you may want to make sure that your clutch hydraulics and other components are working properly, a lot of the time they can slowly fail over time and make it feel like you're having trans problems when it's actually the clutch only partially disengaging.
