If I’m not mistaken the TR6060 takes ATF.

I have tried RP syncromesh and now Tremec's MTF...I can't tell a difference but with the tremec fluid cold shifts seem a little more rough...especially from 1 to 2.
Might give that a try on the next fluid change...although folks with Amsoil also say it improved shift quality.

I was going to use RP but a friend who manages a parts store and is also a car guy that races told me that RP is discontinuing theirs because of poor quality control...
Then I was going to use Amsoil because I have heard good things from them but I live in a small town and not one store here sells it...
I guess I could order it online...
I have never heard of that STF Driven...maybe I should look more into that...
Where can I buy that...?

STF Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid
STF protects gears, bearings and internal clutches in extreme heat environments such as those experienced by track day cars and race vehicles. By reducing friction, heat and wear, it improves shifting characteristics and lowers operating temperatures. Designed to exceed performance requirements...
www.drivenracingoil.com
As well as all over ebay/amazon maybe for a better deal
Not sure about anyone elses experience but I changed my fluid at 40k miles and the first shift even just sitting with the car off felt way smoother then the factory stuff. Still on the same fluid at 96k probably need another drain and fill

Gear oil is a chemical highwire act.
Generally speaking, the stuff with the best effect on things like syncro efficiency and limited slip operation (remember they need grip to work) doesn't last as long. Either because it's conventional gear oil or modified with friction additives that break it down over time.
So it stands to reason you get the best feel out of a cheap conventional gear oil that protects well enough for just long enough that the change intervals don't annoy you.
Of course the devil is in the those very hard to measure parameters.

Just about 4 quarts
I use Amsoil Signature Series MVS ATF. Noticeable smoother shifting. I'm happy with it.

3.65 qts, so you'll need to buy 4 qts
