My 2015 ss has 53,000 miles. I just bought it a few months ago. I recently had the transmission fluid changed. I’ve noticed a huge difference in clutch pedal, shifter and gear shifts feel. Everything is smoother. Am i crazy? Is it placebo effect?

Ya I did my first fluid change at about 15000 and it was like someone changed my transmission. Smoothed it out.

Not a placebo effect, the new fluid definitely helps things out.

Did you also get the differential fluid changed?

What fluid did you use? I'm ready to do mine.
