Auto or Manual? On my manual I used RP Synchromax synthetic manual transmission fluid.

Synchromax FTW!.

my 3650 shifts 1-2 like butter. 2-3 is like the hands of god are helping you, effortless.

though the notchiness never really bothered me, unlike the whine/groan/chatter or clunk it makes, but it made the shifts butter anyways.

asper Tremec, do not use synthetic fluid in a 3650, use plain old Mercon III, unless you want major $$$ repairs somewhere down the road.
