make sure you use the A578-specific semi-synthetic fluid (p/n 4773167) that's available at the dealer. It is specifically matched to the synchronizer material for good shifting, and has special friction modifiers to last a lifetime... You're on your own if you decide to use something else

I know lots of people who don't use it and the tranny shifts great. There are cheaper alternatives out there that still provide good quality.
