Manual Tranny Oil???
Car - 92 Honda Civic DX but has a D16Z6 for a heart... its the Z6 tranny as well...
I wanted to know what type of Tranny oil would be the best to use... I take my car to 7200 RPMs everyday, so i wanted to know which one protects best...
Also at the Discount Auto parts when i did my swap they told me use reg 10w-40 oil... I found it weird but beeen using that since febuary... Would that POS oil cause grinds when I shift at high RPMs... I swear every gear grinds if I shift it pass 5000 rpms... (or could it be my tranny is screwed, I learn to drive stick on this tranny when i did my auto to manual conversion)
Anyones opinion would be kool.... Oh yea I live in South Florida so its always hot, and even in the coldest temp it doesnt go below 50...

Honda Manual Transmission fluid!
MTF
Even if it is $4 a quart. You only need 2 and it's for 20,000 miles!
Why do anything else?

Re: Manual Tranny Oil??? (Spade)
Since you high-reving all the time, you should look into getting some redline MTL. I also heard that the GM syncromesh is pretty good too.

Re: Manual Tranny Oil??? (Spoon Hybrid)
After changing the Tranny oil and it still grinds, have your clutch checked and you may need new synchros. Have fun!
