Whats better than Royal purple for the tranny?
I remember reading a comparison, where they tested some oil to be better than Royal Purple for the tranny. I had RP in a car before, and it wore out in 5k miles. What is it? something that had "gear" in the name I think

Nothing with gear in it comes to mind, unless they were referring to it as gear oil. MTF-LT-2, Royal Purple, and Red Line seem to be the most popular.

Motul doesn't exactly suck either, just about as expensive as it comes, however.

I'm using BG Syncroshift 2, It works great and others have commented on how well my car shifts. In my opinion RP is a little thin.

I know people don't like the oem stuff but I just did a flush at 40k and car feels noticeably better. I don't think oem is bad, it's just lifetime fluids is bs so it gets a bad rep b/c it wears down eventually. Fresh fluid is probably all it needs.

I totally agree but for finicky parts such as this where oem specs seem more strict, I figured I'd just stick with oem. You should know of all the mod wh0res like me, I typically like to go aftermarket =)
