Vitalie,
Those are my same results with the purple. When the engine is cold and I have 75 degree ambient, I get grinds on down shift If I don't count in my head one, one thousand. If I wait a second, it shifts fine. One I drive for about 10 minutes, everything is fine. Downshifting into second is the worse. I may get a grind when cold if I don't wait the 1 second.
I may wait a month using the purple to see if things change. If they don't, it's coming out. I don't care how much money I spent on the stuff. I'm not going to let it grind away my tranny.
I think fixkick's recommendation is spot on...go back to non synthetic.
