I think it was 50/50 90/80w gear oil (had some special cert can't remember) and non-synthetic auto fluid. Well hot damn old timer, it did shift smoother and quieter.
You really need to get off this organic oil high. Run organic for 6 months and watch as the tar spills out of your oil pan, run synthetic for 6 months and you'll feel like you're throwing away perfectly good oil when you drain it.

Do you really think refined goo from the ground is going to work better than something that was chemically engineered in a lab for a specific purpose?

FYI, all T56 transmissions run ATF Dexron 4. I use Redline.
