6 speed trans fluid

Just want to make sure I can for sure no doubt use this in my 1LE before I change it out today.

Not sure about that stuff. I know the stock GM fluid is actually an ATF

Says it's formulated for ATF. I got it on a recommendation from these forums I just need reassurance from other who have used it previously.

Wait for more replies but if I remember correctly there are other members who have used this product and it’s perfectly fine and recommend.

I used it for over a year , switched to red line d4 atf now. No difference in shifting between the two, both are great in the tr6060

It looks like the correct fluid to me.

I finally got around to changing the transmission fluid. I did the transmission fluid and diff fluid at the same time.

I really didn't think changing the fluid would change the clunky shifting of the car but wow. It feels completely different now. The OE fluid was still good and red but it doesn't compare to aftermarket fluid. Anyway, just my observations. 20k miles on car

I've got RP in mine, as well. I think it is better than stock in my experience.

You use LSD additive in your trans?

I switched to Redline ATF (better) from OEM (20k miles). Swapped back to OEM (worse) (4k miles). Switched again to Redline ATF (better again) (8k miles). Better shifting 1-2 and the rest of the gears. RP is also good stuff.
