Default GM syncromesh friction modified..when does it kick in??

ok i changed my tranny fluid to GM syncromesh fricition modified since i had 2nd and 3rd gear grinding since i heard it helps take out grinds...I put it in about 5 days ago but it still feels the same and grinds the same...how long did it take for you guys to feel the difference and have the grinding stop??

5 days means nothing. how many miles have you driven in those five days?

peoples results vary, but anywhere from 50-1000 miles...with the average being 200-400

it varys. it also is not a gurantee fix. if you continue to have a grinding problem then look into getting a new tranny, or even a rebuild, as far as the syncros..

EXACTLY, if your tranny grinds, u gonna need to fix it down the line, oil is not going to fix it, it'll only buy some time

yea i kno the oil wont fix the syncros...im planning to get a new tranny when i go forced induction...i juss want the grinding to stop for now while i save up for all that...cause it sucks when i need to pass up someone on 2nd and need to switch to 3rd but have to wait till the rpm drops so it doesnt grind, and by the time i switch to third, i cant pass the person anymore and i have to slow down... ...sucks ***...and juss killed my gas haha
