Default Other possible transmission fluids

Currently, my local GM dealer is out of Synchromesh, and the only way to get it is to order 6 quarts ($78). I'm using the Honda stuff now and it's really not very good. I'm trying to think of other possible fluids to try. I know Mobil 1 is too thin, but what about maybe 15W50 synthetic blend? I'm open to ideas

I hate it that i didn't notice much of a difference. I even bought the right stuff for sure.

I think shifter bushings will make a bigger difference.

I used to have GM, but when we did the clutch, the GM dealer was closed so we went with Honda and it's not nearly as good
