Got some updates on the wheels!

Would definitely love to hear your feedback & we are just down the road in Pompano Beach if you need anything - I am sure you will be very happy with the results.Just dropped her off at Limitless Motorworks for the shifter, and springs change as well as the full Monty Steeda suspension and chassis upgrade, except I already had Vorslag front camber plates, they also said they would coordinate with the alignment guy and get her there to get a custom alignment done
Can’t wait
I changed to the MGW when i did the BG fluids, so i cannot make as good a comparison on the fluid as you. I’m not positive which mod to attribute what to...but it’s an improvement for sure. I have not had one incident where i had an issue getting it all the way into 1st since installing both.I've been toddling around this week with BG Synchro Shift II and then Motul Multi DCTF in my transmission. Debating going back to the stock ATF, I'm undecided...
The ATF felt super notchy when shifting below ~95 F trans temp, like I was abusing the transmission. However, while the new fluids both felt way better in general use occasionally they'd just sorta pause while going into gear requiring a much more firm push/pull into gear. The stock ATF rarely did that.
The new fluids definitely feel better at lower temps, way smoother. I tried the BG II first and it was silky smooth above ~70 F trans temp. I swapped the fluid out for the DCTF and it's smooth from ~60 F trans temp.
Both new fluids feel great when shifting rapidly at higher RPM, FWIW. It's only the "normal driving to work" type stuff where all three fluids feel at their worst.
So the occasional hitch going into gear or feeling generally crappy all the time? Hmm...
I do really want to do an MGW, not allowed to for my autocross class :(I changed to the MGW when i did the BG fluids, so i cannot make as good a comparison on the fluid as you.

I love the non wobbly crams into 3rd, there’s no guessing if it’s in first at a stop light, and second is better on cold mornings.
Yeah,.........that is nothing nice bro. Looks killer.Coated new wheels, admired new wheels while enjoying a cold brewschloski, installed wheels, stood back and took in the awesomness.
Ermagawd dat ass!!!
I've been trying to find the best fluid for the gearbox as well, for the same reason. ATF (doesn't matter which one) is notchy and occasionally gives a bit of a grind on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts.I've been toddling around this week with BG Synchro Shift II and then Motul Multi DCTF in my transmission.

Looks great! I plan to be rocking the same setup soon.Coated new wheels, admired new wheels while enjoying a cold brewschloski, installed wheels, stood back and took in the awesomness.

Thanks - I'll give it a try!So far the Motul Multi DCTF seems to be a pretty good compromise for the transmission oil. I've got ~300 miles on the new fluid and I'm liking it so far. The trans seems to shift acceptably when cold (20 degrees F transmission temp), not terribly notchy feeling and with the rare "have to push/pull the stick harder for no apparent reason" issue. When it warms up it feels pretty much silky smooth with the occasional slightly mechanical notchy feeling.
My only real question is the gear pump in the trans with the slightly thicker viscosity, but it's not a huge difference. The BGII fluid is a LOT thicker so I'd be a bit more concerned for cold weather use.
The Motul DCTF is a big improvement over the factory LV ATF in shifting feel and it should provide better protection for track use as well.
