It’s been awhile since I’ve purchased it, which GM Synchromesh do they recommend? #104006 ACDelco Synchromesh Transmission Fluid or #104014 ACDelco Synchromesh Transmission Fluid Friction Modified? Or a different one? Thanks

Which Tremec? They recommend different fluids for different trans. TKO? 3550? T-56? T-5?

Tremec makes their own fluid now, so they recommend Tremec HP-MTF for all their trans

HP-MTF High Performance Manual Transmission Fluid was developed specifically for TREMEC aftermarket transmissions.

However, prior to this, it was a mix of GM Synromesh, D3 and Merv V depending on which Tremec. I don't want to list them all out though.

3550

I also have a TKO600 ready to replace it

EDIT: So it appears that new HP MTF works for my applications

The 3550 takes GM 12345349

Synchromesh Transmission Fluid, 12345349 - Steeda

This is the best transmission fluid you can put in your Tremec transmission. It also makes T-5 and T-45 transmissions shift more smoothly. NOTE: Supersession to new AC Delco 10-4006 (88900333).

In the description it says "NOTE: Supersession to new AC Delco 10-4006 (88900333)" which is one of the fluids you listed
