Forgot about the 3650's but in the t56 you can use syncromesh i use RP stuff.

You shuld see the plug no problem but worse case if you wana yank the shifter off you could fill through there as well [Wink]

I would use what the manufacturer specifies. I called Tremec and asked what to use in my 3550 and they said nothing but Syncromesh. Dunno about the 3650 though.
