would it be ok with the 2001 Z24 5spd?

also, any suggestions on a good clutch/flywheel combo?

I've got my eye on the ACT GM1-HDR4, but the website says only goes up to 99 =(

HELP!

Bringing this back, Is the Royal Purple Synchromesh OK to use on 00+ Getrag F23 5 speed's?

I've been talking with Sweetness and although he's been helpful, he has an old NVG not an F23.

SO, Royal Purple, or Satun Auto tranny fluid?

Wait wait did you just call my transmission OLD? lol

If old = superior then I can accept that.

Like I said, if you don't feel settled running the RP SynchroMax, run the fluid that GM puts in the saturns.

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...

Thanks guys, i am for sure going to give Royal Purple a chance. If i'm not liking it too much i guess i'll change it up for the Saturn ATF.

Chris....you know what i meant by old lol...

Looks like my pic from Summit is gone. But this is what I've been using for years. And I did a test in the maintenance section where I tested a bunch ATFs. This ATF worked best. Also GM recommends ATF for the Getrag.

FOr the newer getrags I recommend Hurst ATF synthic. It is Hurst Hot Shift. I have also used B&M Trick shift, but like the Hurst the best.

Trick shift is used by GM as a renamed Transfer case oil.... Autotrack-II.

that leads me to believe that Mobil makes Trick Shift..... as they make all of GM's other stuff.

Mobile-1 Owns all!.... but trick shift got rid of gear rattle for my old Z.

Amsoil failed every test at Briggs & Stratton school for high heat\load testing. Harley was the same.

not very fond of it at all.
