Default gm syncromesh

Damn i'm sold on this product. I just put some in my transmission today and it made a world of difference for my shifting. Like Nite and Day! Just wanted to let you all know that.

Or you can go to your Dodge dealer and get Part number 4874464 (Qty 2) and 4318060ab (Qty 1). The first number is the MTF and the second part number is the friction modifier. Pour in the friction mofifier first and follow with the MTF. Trust me its the same ****. The part numbers X-reference.

i did a search on google for gm synchromesh and found out from pennzoil that they manufacture all of the gm, quaker state, and texaco synchromesh oils, but i guess you can get it under the pennzoil name for half or more of the price if gm stuff. gm just ups the price cause its got gm on the bottle. going to go today to get some of the pennzoil stuff to put in and i guess well see.

Like I said in another topic, I doubt any fluid will help the grinding at high rpm. Sounds more like an internal problem such as worn synchros. I doubt GM or any other "friction modified" fluid will help that.

Good luck with it though, and if it truly works for you then by all means post up your results.

my friend had a tranny with slight grind and he put this in and so far there had been no grinds. Kinda pricey but well worth it
