Get the stock 08+ SS Fluid if you can get it... otherwise get the stock 05-07 SS Fluid. Don't use aftermarket stuff.

i changed it out today and come to find out they think it is my syncros!!! 
the fluid was all milky with the red tint and had a metallic look to it so we are ripping it apart soon to make sure so i may try to get a lsd if i can since it will be apart...you think that would be a good idea?

The centerforce kit is AMAZING. I installed it in my car a few weeks back. Anyone who says lightweight flywheels are no good is full of ****. Just do the job right and you wont have any problems.

I was talking to G11. The Trans Fluid definitely isn't your problem. You might be able to recondition the clutch into liking Stg2. Iono. My stock clutch was in my car on GM Stg2 w/ 2.8pulley for nearly 50k miles... and then about 10k miles on my Turbo Set-up pushing near 380whp. Never gave me a problem... my TOB actually gave up on life first. They are really picky clutches... they like to be driven a certain way. I worked a friend's clutch back into loving life once. Tried on someone else's too... but that one was useless... it was far gone.
They synchro's are probably fine... the Synchro BLOCKER RINGS are the problem. Who's taking it apart? There aren't many places out there that'll do that. BUT, if they're gonna have it apart... might as well throw an LSD in there.

i just wonder what else it could be...the guys at checker listened to it and they said it kinda sounded like maybe my timing was knocked off or something but i don't really trust them.
