Synthetic Transmission Fluid

Have any of you guys ever did a complete transmission flush and replaced it using Synthetic Transmission Fluid? I've been contemplating for a few weeks now to start using Synthetic on my AutoTrans...

Thanks,

i work at a transmission reapir shop and in my experience synthetic will lower your trans fluid temp and last twice as long. if i had an auto i would use it

I use Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil in my 5 speed

Replaced with synthetic when I had my clutch changed. I remember it felt easier to shift afterwards.

I run it in my auto and what a difference it makes.

You dump gear oil through the differential and then fill it back up with the plug on the front of the engine. You basically keep filling it up until it starts coming out the plug hole. Or you can check with your finger.

When you refill do you jack it up or do it flat on the ground. I do it flat.

Also, I have the 03 Solara SLE V6.

Also, do I have to change any transmission fluid filter? If so what brand(s) would you guys recommend.

One is for the automatic trans (ATF) and one is for the manual (75w-90) be careful on other cars they sometimes take 10w-30 in manual trans. For Hondas nothing beats Honda MTF from the dealer.

WS ATF is synthetic, you can purchase this at your Toyota dealer.

I use mobil 1 synthetic atf. Lasts a lot longer than conventional. Doesn't turn into that nasty burnt brown goo.
