I use GM manual trans fluid 88861800 in my personal Vette. I think the issue with grinding is due to the sintered bronze friction cones that are "grabby" and either on or off type of engagement (similar to manual clutch with similar friction material). The carbon blockers "slip" and have a softer engagement. I have heard through channels that 2011 Vette TR6060 have carbon blockers on all gears but my Tremec supplier told me it's only the 2nd gear blocker. Short of me getting my hands on one, I'll have to wait and see.
