I've used the Super Blue and it is excellent. Don't have any experience with Royal Purple, but have never heard anything bad about them.

I use the Redline Oil products whenever I have a need. www.redlineoil.com

Are you using Superblue already? If so, replace it with ATE Gold so that you know when you have made a complete flush.

Royal Purple is in my transmission. It made a major difference in the ease of shifting. Quality stuff.
And I have used Super Blue in all my motorcycles for years, and should put it in the 996.

Cheers
Mark

Question

My car shifts fine into 2nd, but hangs just a bit into 3rd. Do you think changing to Royal Purple could help? I'm not sure what is in there now.

Ah.... Super Blue is brake fluid, don't put it in your transmission.
