30 miles after switch to BG and my grind was gone for the next 100k until car was totaled (and still shifted better than the Sonata). 2 shops said it would need rebuild so I figured what did I have to lose trying it. I had a Corolla that had gone through MANY fluid changes (some probably GL5) dino and syn and tranny would grind lightly between shifts at higher RPM and downshifts off highway.

Not sure if the factory fill is synthetic or not, but seeing as how the car has 100,000 miles and it has never been changed, I may have to run a change through it to flush out the old factory stuff.
