Synthetic tranny oil

[ejfluhr@austin.ibm.com (Fluhr)]

I recently heard that synthetic oil worked "too well" for a manual
transmission, in that the oil does not "spin up" on the parts as
well as standard oil.  The gears and synchros then do not get adequate
lubrication to work smoothly.

Now, this makes no sense, and list members' experiences seem to prove
it wrong, but I thought it would make for some interesting responses.

Thanks,
Eric
