Hi Spuds,

Thanks for your very good review. I have issues with shifting quality of my 2017 BRZ. From searching the site, just like many owners experienced --crunchy and hard to shift into gears when cold. It even crunches when hot sometimes at low rpm crawling around town. I have these issues in every gear from first to sixth. The problems pretty much alleviates if I flock the car very hard and get it to high temp. When hot, shifting at high rpm (5,000 rpm and over) and my transmission shifts quite smoothly although it will not inspire a quick shifting action but the crunch is pretty much gone.

Did your transmission have these same problems before changing to the Amsoil?

If so, I really would like to give Amsoil a try on my car. I really hate crunchy transmission on my car. It just takes the joy out of driving. Wish I had a smooth transmission.

Thanks in advance for your reply
