Recommendation and sharing

Hi
So after ive tried several oils on our trans i think ive discovered one of the best if not best oil for our trans(for smoothness-maybe less for protection).
im using this oil for 3years now in other cars and i brought my previous exp with this oil to this car and its definitely fits in!*ELF NFP 75W80*
-All cold issues are gone.
-2 to 3 gear mini grind/klunk plunk/stair/how ever anyone call it issue still there but has an 50% improvement and im pretty much sure once the oil will break in more it will get better.
-generaly much more smoothy shifting.
so if ur about to change oil soon im definitely recommending this one .

*i will drain it after 2000miles and check for shavings.(OE and motul 300 had many of them)
*tested in ambient temp of 16F to 47F.

*update
as posted above in cold terms everything works as a magic.
i recently noticed that oil cant work properly under heavy use(high rpm)especially the 3rd that always been poopy now is more shtty .(if it used to klunkplunk 1 out of 5 times now its 1/2 times) .
next oil im gonna try is MT85 or MT90.

@Legend@wheels - I'm ah feared that the sounds of your own transmission gears are driving you crazy.
