Hey all....maybe I am just hyper sensitive but I think I am hearing my transmission while I drive.....maybe just a little too much. Could just be normal. Anyone know of a super quieting tranny oil? I think I am using Stalube 85-90 or something like that. Thank you very much.

There are hundreds of additive products on the shelf at your local FLAPS that will try to convince you that they will fix all sorts of problems.

Truth is, just make sure your tranny oil level is right, maybe even change it (especially if you are not certain that GL5 is in there). Anything beyond that and it needs some maintenance, not a magic BS treatment.
