Hey, first time posting on here!!
My question is I'm replacing my clutch soon with a Competition Clutch stage 1.5 with a 11.5lb Flywheel and need tranny fluid/oil or whatever. My cousin is helping me but he wanted me to find out if I can use oil for the K series tranny cause he knows that you can do that to the b series but wasn't sure for K series. SO, I did some research and seems to me like everyone uses Amsoil MTF but I just wanted to confirm it. Say I use Mobil 5w30 for regular oil, and then use amsoil for tranny fluid/oil, correct? Sorry for the long post, Just wanted to confirm it because I wasn't so sure on it. Thanks!

Most people will say to use Honda MTF (YES the general Honda MTF works for K and B series transmissions) since its OEM you really can't go wrong with it.

I personally like Pennzoil Synchromesh. You can use Amsoil Manual Trans Synchromesh too but that stuff is pretty expensive.

How many quarts does it take?

SkoundrelUSA

You will need to buy 2 quarts. But I don't know the exact measurement, but I think its 1.5 qts.

What I do is fill up until it starts pouring out the fill hole. Usually starts pouring out around 1.4 - 1.6 qts.

Exactly. Not sure if you will need new crush washers but I got them anyways while getting the oil. They were like $.60 or something each.

I use to use Pennzoil Synchromesh but Quaife told me not to use that stuff. If you need synchromesh they said use the GM transmission synchromesh fluid

Did they say why? J/w

+1 for Amsoil Syncromesh, took away the notchiness shifter feel that the OEM fluid couldn't.

once i get my rebuilt tranny back i'll be breaking it in with honda mtf. after that if i still feel some notchiness i'll give amsoil a shot.

They didn't really get into why but they said something about the way it breaks down and something about it doesn't mesh well with their LSD.
