Any auto supras (na/turbo) out there running their trannys with nothing but synthetic tranny fluid?

I know the argument is that the clutch packs need a certain amount of friction to operate, but was just curious as to approximately how many out there have ignored this and used all synthetic tranny fluid.

What if any problems/experience do you have running full synthetic?

I swapped out from the PO's mixture of Mercon V and Dexron III, flushed the system with 12 quarts of Toyota's Type T-IV, and never looked back. Works beautifully on Toyota's fluid :cool:

IF the auto trans has been on regular ATF for its life, it will die a horrible mooshy death if switched to full synthetic.


I just put a new front and rear seal in my wife's auto tranny. I then filled it up with synthetic tranny fluid. Should I drain it and go back to regular transmission fluid? I've had enough problems without tearing it up because of the fluid I put in it. Thanks.
