For a while I thought my tranny was screwed up but it turns out I just needed a new clutch cable and more adjustment. At $30+ a quart the gm synchromesh isnt worth it to me.</TD></TR></TABLE>
it didnt do jack when i used it in my red crx..but like gearspeed said...its only a slight band-aid...it cant restore a worn syncromesh

Its only about 12$ a qt. at my local gm dealer. I can see how it wouldnt do jack if your clutch was screwed up/worn out. NOTHING will fix that, or mask it as some would say, but a new clutch! LOL.

not barcelona green. it was never offered in the states. when the si-r (the one that bryant owns now) was repainted we had to have sikkens/akzo nobel contact their european branch to obtain the mix recipe.

My R tranny will grind into 5th sometimes. It has a little difficulty going into it for some reason. And it only has like 15-20K miles on it. It doesnt grind when it just has difficulty, it just acts like it doesnt want to pop in like it should. I put it into 5th very slowly, because I don't want whatever the problem is to get worse. Syncromesh is a great temporary fix. But it's a lot thinner than MTF and it will leak out past your seals.

I was under the impression that Syncromesh was a heavier-weighted oil? Dunno, something about hiding problems and thinner oil doesn't make sense to me haha.

My roof rack is a brand called XPORT. I don't think they exist anymore... at least under that name. It removes easy enough. Haven't put it on in a while due to the cold & a lot of hwy driving. Plus the trails I ride that require driving to are closed. Ever heard of FATS? sorbacsra.org



. Someone motivate me to spend more on go-fast
