I would recommend a synchromesh in the manual trans. It will help the gear changes become smoother.

Honestly when I replace mine. It's going to be the Ford stuff, she's 3 now and the shifter still shifts like a rifle bolt, it shifts great cold and warm. And it's been auto crossed and drag raced.

In all the cars I have had, I due it once a year with the transmission filter. The A4 ended up outlasting the LS1 in my Corvette with over 140k miles. People always said it would fail before the engine. And I drove the piss out of that car, it had seen numerous road trips and manual shifting.

I'm going to make the switch to full amsoil fluids in trans, diff, and oil after my next oil change. I'm about to hit the 36k warranty, but since the powertrain is 60k, I'm just going to say screw it.

Not absolutely sure it's usually something higher like 30/40/50k miles. I should be in your owners manual.

Derek I have a hand pump you can borrow when you do that. You will need it for the tranny and diff.
