Synthetic Transmission Oil

[mbulriss]

Curt,

They ought to put a new pan gasket on when they service the tranny. My 83 PT40
had Amsoil synthetic in the tranny (as well as the engine, differential and
genset) for most of the 9 years I owned it after I changed it over in year 1.
The only leak I had was the slobber tubes.

Sounds like more anti-synthetic folklore to me.
