Is "notchy" bad? I line the way it feels and the tactile feedback of knowing the car changed gears. S2000 gearbox has been compared to an excellent bolt action rifle, perhaps as slick as the old US Army Krag (M1898 etc). Few of us have other cars to compare to. It's a great gearbox.

Honda MTF and most synchromesh fluids are practically automatic transmission fluid, makes sense, since they're derived from ATF. Royal Purple synchromax and Pennzoil synchromesh are very very close to ATF.
A. The four MTL fluids closest to a Kinematic Viscosity of 6.1 (About the same viscosity as a DexronVI) or so are: 1. Castrol Syntrans FE 75W, 2. BMW (Pentosin) MTF-LT-3, 3. Honda MTII or MTF 2. 4. Ford FML-XT-11-QDC B. The next higher viscosity MTL would be the 7.5 cSt versions (About the same viscosity as a DexronIII) 1. Royal Purple's Synchromax 2. Ravenol MTF-2 3. Honda MTF 4. VW part number G052512A2 5. GM Manual Transmission and Transfer Case Fluid 6. BMW (Pentosin) MTF-LT-1, 2 C. The next higher viscosity MTL would be Castrol Syntrans V FE 75W-80 8.0cSt D. The next higher viscosity MTL would be BG Synchroshift II 8.2 cSt E. The next higher viscosity is Mopar Type MS-9417 MTL 9.0cSt F. The next higher viscosity MTL would be Pennzoil Synchromesh 9.3 cSt G. The next group of MTL’s are in the 10.x cSt range are: 1. Redline MTL 70W80. 2. Amsoil MTL 3. GM Synchromeshs’ 4. Volvo MTF 645 5. Ford Motor Craft XT-M5-QS H. The next higher viscosity MTL would be: 1. Redline MT-85 – 12.0 cSt I. The next higher viscosity MTLs would be: 1. Amsoil MTG 14.5 cSt 2. Redline MT-90 15.6 cSt 3. Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75W-90
