gonna be boostin 8-12 psi by end of summer, just wondering what tranny fluid would be best for me, i kno the manual trannys are finicky with fluid but idk about the auto ones, and i need this tranny to last until the swap. i was considering royal purple due to its prestige.

thanks for the help

The only fluid you should use is Hyundai fluid, just make sure to get a tranny cooler. One of the local GK guys is running two coolers on his setup.

It does but it doesn't do a good job lol. If you like to drive your car hard no matter your setup, a tranny cooler should be on your list.

Sounds about right. Our OEM fluids and Filters are very high quality. Sounds strange but its why there is TSBs on not using OEM stuff.

If I were you I would get a transmission flush and run to auxiliary transmission coolers.
