GMSMFM - how long does it take to notice?
I put it in the trans 100 miles ago and I still can't tell a difference. How long does it take to be able to notice? I thought for sure it would be a big change, (everyone says the shifting becomes way smoother) but I may go back to the Honda stuff.

I changed mine to GMSFM about 6Kmiles ago...and noticed the difference nearly immediately (a couple of days). I never had any grinding problems, but, the tranny seemed to shift noticably smoother - especially 1 > 2.

It makes a huge difference in a MY00, especially when it's cold out and the transmission is not warmed up for at least 30 minutes. The change in shifting is noticeable within a few miles.
Maybe your MY05 does not need it. Did you "need" to use it, did your transmission shift okay before switching?

I had 1-2 gear grinds before chaning to GMSMFM and after the change i havent experienced one gring in 5k miles yet. I notice a lil notchyness at frist start up but quickly becomes smooth afta driving one block.

I could tell a difference the moment I backed the car out of the shop after the oil change. I tend to describe the difference as a "significant" improvement.
Try to keep things in perspective though. Different people perceive things, and describe them, in different ways. What's "significant" or "huge" to one person may be just a "slight" improvement to someone else. You're the first I've read that said they couldn't tell a difference. It just goes to show that there are no guarantees.

EDIT-200 miles go by and I can really tell the difference. The GMSMFM with Voodoo Titanium knob combo is amazing. Really takes my appreciation for the car to another level.
