Hi Spook -

I think it's reasonable to try synthetic as a cleaner.

I mainly wanted to point out the synthetic ATF has a chance to provide unpredictable results. This is only based upon reading and only using synthetic as an oil and a power steering fluid, so really just armchair opinion. A recent post on turbobricks.com was a transmission that was flushed *three* times with synthetic and trans still had problems shifting. Another user said they had better shifts with traditional ATF in their AW.

If a cleaner was needed, I would go AutoRx instead of synthetic.
