I was also under the impression that more cooling isn't always a better thing with respct to a manual transmission since temperatures that are too low result in poor fluid performance and shifting. What fluid is used in the H3's manual transmission? Is moving to a synthetic based product recommended if one is not already being used?

I could just be confused here, but I would appreciate a clarification.
