Anyone switched to synthetic transm 6MT oil?

700+ miles so far, and the tranny still feels too 'grainy', with slight buzzes while changing gears, esp in lower gears? Needs to be more quieter. Has anyone gotten any improvements from switching to synthetic lube like Redline MT-90 or ?

That's honesty I was hoping this can be cured. Too noisy IMO, kind of cheapens the interior sounds

I hear getting a new clutch and flywheel will "cure" the noise. Other than that, you'll get used to the noisy tranny

no need to change it out so early. Wait for some mileage...and then when you finally do switch over to synthetic, it will feel good.

its the throwout bearing that fixes the noise, but as it wears the sound will come back, and the trans fluid from nissan is already syntethic
