Changed my manual trans fluid today
3 track days and 2000 miles. Glad I did. It was nice and sparkling. Have not ground a gear yet. Surprised chevy doesnt want us to be doing this sooner.

My 2018 1SS 1LE before this one I had shifting and gear grinding issues. I intend on changing the fluid every 4 track days. So might try royal purple. I'll let you know. |

I have Redline D4 in my trunk waiting to go in. 30k miles and two track visits. Zero issues with shifting, so we shall see if there's any magic going to occur.....

FWIW - I switched out to Royal Purple 500 miles ago. I have not noticed any appreciable difference. It's certainly not worse but not noticeably better either. I think we trick ourselves into the placebo effect that these types of things make a meaningful difference.
Note: I did not change the tranny fluid hoping for a better shifting experience. I just did it because I had 21K miles on the original fluid.
