Anyone run Synthetic Diff & ATF?

[TriumphGT6]

I was wondering if anyone has done that. I love the Camry and would like to help preserve it for a good, long time. I am looking at converting it next weekend.

What year of Cam do you have? If you have I believe an 02 or newer it has the T4 fluid in it. You are never supposed to change it.

yeah you do change it.......just a matter of time...........

btw, i had toyota drain and fill my trans. fluid..........do i have to ask them to change the diff. fluid also? is it a separate thing to do?

I run redline tranny and diff.

I just switched to Mobil 1 ATF.

and any smoother ? or no difference

Shifts are way better with Redline.
The magnet is always clean on the drain plug for the diff

Im thinking of swiching to synthetic ATF, but will it cause any leaks? and will it actually shift smoother?

i switched to mobil 1 atf and have no complaints. the tranny seems to shift
alittle smoother but maybe its all in my head.

^It'll shift better once you change the ATF if it's been in there a while no matter what fluid you put in.

I have regular ATF in my tranny right now. Would it be okay to drain and refill a few times (not flush) with synthetic ATF or is it a bad idea to mix? There would eventually be close to 99% synthetic in the tranny after many drain and fill cycles.

When I put synthetic ATF in mine, I only drained and refilled with 2.5 qts of synthetic. So right now, my transmission has about 1/2 regular and 1/2 synthetic. I've driven over 2000 miles like this and haven't noticed any problems.
