1999 Miata. These 5 speeds are pretty notorious for being "notchy" but tight in a good way. Online forum's recommended Ford's synthetic manual transmission fluid as "the best" and at $30 a quart.... I bought 2 quarts and to me made it worse and too hard to get into second like the synchros weren't meshing. I bought this fluid along with Amsoil engine oil and filter while I was under the car and the transmission has NEVER been smoother and at almost half the price to boot. I will continue to use Amsoil in all my cars and will also be changing the rear diff fluid with Amsoil in the Miata. I'm sold
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Transmission Lube

This transmission oil seems to work the best for me in my vintage 020 VW gearboxes. I have several cars with the 020 5-speed gearbox and have tried several different gear oils and the Amsoil seems to work the best when compared side by side in real world conditions. I now run this gear oil in all of the 020 5-speed gearboxes.
I used this in my 1995 Dodge ram 2500 NV4500, 1997 Dodge ram 2500 NV4500 and my 1994 Dodge Dakota with the AX15. Made all transmissions shift great. It’s hard to find gear oil specifically formulated for older manual transmissions. The easy pack takes out so much aggravation when filling a manual transmission.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

this fluid completely refreshed my 06 G56 manual transmission from groggy to like new condition and operation. my transmission shifts like new now that i flushed it and put this ams oil in it.
10/10 amazing
I've used this oil twice now for my ar5 in my 06 Colorado 4x4 and after the inital change of fluids from when I first got the truck, I noticed a decent amount of difference in both shift quality and cold weather performance! I recently put some in it again after a clutch change, and it seems to have pulled out a lot of old gunk from the tranny and during this bitter cold we're having currently it shifts like a brand new car. I know some of that is due to the clutch change, but I'm positive that this oil is doing some good work with this cold weather too. Definitely good stuff and worth the price!
This was the first time using AMSOIL manual transmission & transaxle gear lube. I was able to discern how the gears were able to get into gear much smoother and effortless than with the stock fluid on my M7 2017 Corvette GS. It was surprising how it felt in the beginning. The more I drove it the more it confirmed that sensation. Very happy with this trans fluid.
Excellent product that meets or exceeds factory fluid.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Great for old synchro

Had a hard time with an old W58 that was still the original transmission with 1st & 2nd gears needing to be forced in and out at low speeds when the car ran cold. Putting this product in made an immediate impact and after about a month of daily driving, it has become a smooth shift pattern on e again. I am going to use this in my new transmission for another build I am working on. Loyal AMSOIL fan boy.

i used this in my 85 Porsche 944 and it works well the car shifts just as well as before but not better ( its pretty smooth) the easy pack bags are great and i did not even have to jack up the car ! for the price i would say its a good option
When you can get a superior fluid at a part store price, why would you buy anything else?
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

2019 Manual Tacoma

Replaced factory MT gear oil at 25K. Immediate improvement in shift quality. The notchy feeling disappeared, and cold shifting is significantly smoother. The factory oil was not dark or degraded, but this oil is a marked improvement over stock.
The bag packaging made the fluid swap so much easier. Just squeeze the gear oil into the transmission and drain any remnants into the next bag. No more pumps, injectors, gear oil mess, or any real issues. I don't think I could go back to the plastic bottles after doin a fluid swap with this packaging.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
