Default primary oils

Ok I am new here and I have a question for you guys and gals, has any body used the ALLISON TRANS fluid in their primary yet? I am a diesel mechanic and have been around the allisons for a long time, when I switched them over to the Trans Synd they ran cooler and shifted better than ever.It is about $28.00 a gallon but I have plenty. Let me know what you think about it.

Im going to watch this thread. We use Transynd at the shop also, and I am a transit diesel mech (supervisor now). I recently changed my primary fluid and noticed it was hella hot, if I could only get it to cool down that would be sweet but the concern I have is clutch material and seal compatibility.
Where you located fmfire?

Running B&M trick-shift & the shifting (no pun intended) has been smooth. However, it seems to run at about the same temp as the Syn3. Another 1000 miles and I'll be changing & evaluating. More to follow...

I run Castrol Transynd in my truck, but would not spend the extra bucks to use in wet clutch that works fine with 20W50 motor oil. $28.00 is a great price for Transynd, wish I could find it for that price.
