The question is general so state your opinions. But i really wanna know becasue im planning to change my tranny fluid tommrow and i wanna know which would be better for my rough shifting...i hear the GM sycromesh does wonders but i also herd good things about MTF aswell

Toxidomask

MTF, cant go wrong, I went to redline, but back to MTF, if your having problems with your syncros, then use the GM stuff, or Penzoil, which ever, they are the same. after 120,000 miles on my tranny, still using MTF, good stuff!!

Opinions won't tell you which is better, only emperical data will.

Cheers and I hope this pointless repeated thread will be forgoten soon.

everyone is going to have their own opions. this has been covered many times. cant go wrong with HG MTF

egvtec

Both are good when we swap in our shop we use syncromesh, probably due to the fact that Honda dealer is an hour away and the GM dealer is right down the street.

Both do a good job.

There is no need to call me an *******. All I am saying is that opinions are almost useless cause everyone will have a different one. Democracy doesn't work when it comes to science and facts.

Research both. Ask for facts and links to informations, not opinions.

But again,
Cheers and good luck

Its fine people use it it honda transmitions all the time. no problems will be caused by Syncromesh.

TheIceMan

sorry for the roast...im juss tryin to get HARD info...cause sometimes searching doesnt get exactly what i want...........i was also reccomended using regualr honda mtf and adding some K+W transX gear treatment as a mixture...herd it does the same as syncromesh

egvtec

are u having grinding issues? if not then the honda manual calls for 10w 40 motor oil or honda MTF

If you are having grinds then use either Redline found at advanced auto or the Synromesh.

x_outlaw_x

do you have a honda?...if so why would you use something for GM...go with the honda mtf or some pennzoil 10w-40

Because alot of people have good luck with the GM sybchromesh, with minor grinds. It fixed a third gear grind in an old gsr tranny i had.

egvtec

^^^^^^ Didnt know Napa had that

.Ry

Ran the Penzoil Sycromesh for awhile now, shifts smooth. No problems here.

M2nR

Hey umm i heard (not saying its true) that the GM synchromesh is really thick (viscous) and you actually loose some power..?? Is that true..??

egvtec

No, its no thicker then any motor oil.

Average Al

it is not thicker it just a sythetic based tranny oil based
like running castrol 10w40 syntec

Redline96LX

GM Synchromesh felt a TAD smoother, and reduced the 1-2 shift grind a bit.

Go get the Pennzoil Synchromesh, because that is the EXACT product that GM uses, hell it even has the GM note about it on the bottle. Difference? About 10 bucks a quart. Pennzoil is like 6 bucks, GM's bottle is 16.

I ran Honda **** cause I got it free, but the Pennzoil is just as good, and a bit better.

Vote for Pennzoil Synchromesh!!

watsvtecEK

Penzoil Sycromesh is the ****, shifts way smother after i changed to it. defenetly recomend it.
