There are many threads comparing/contrasting the many different lubes available. You can use the site's search (sucks, IMNSHO) or go to just about any web search engine and add "site:the370z.com" to your search string. It can go before or after your search string, just make sure to add a space between them.

Don't cheap out on trans lube - or any other lube, for that matter. If you have some OEM stuff laying around, I'd go ahead and use it. But, considering that you drive the car hard, I'd change it out every 20k miles or so.

You can get better (smoother, quicker) performance from some of the racing lubes. For your circumstances, this may be an appropriate choice. If ya wanna play, ya gotta pay.

FTFY ;)

NissanZ34, yes, use the MT-85. That is the appropriate transmission fluid for the 370Z.

Thanks! I edited the post.

Update on my shifting issue: Changed all the fluids and it now shifts way better. Still feel a bit of clunk but its got good oil so it gets the job done.
