Some of the people on H-T will swear by Honda MTF or GM Syncromesh.

Most garages use regular motor oil and don't have problems.

Here's the code I go by:
If I'm expecting (planning to do it), I pick up Honda MTF, if I'm not (in the garage or helping somebody else, as the nearest Honda or GM dealer is like an hour away), regular oil works 100% well.

You shouldn't need to touch syncromesh, but if you want, you can use it without problems. Sometimes it gives you a little longer of a life when your 3rd gear syncro starts to take a ****.

It's honestly a matter of opinion unless ur chipping gears, then I say use syncromesh. Otherwise, oil is fine .

EDIT:
PS: Don't use gear oil, if you're talking about what I think ur talking about (that 190w30 ****) then don't. You use regular oil, like Mobil1 10w30. Gear oil is way too thick.

unnecessary...unless youre bandaid-ing a worn transmission.
Honda MTF is more than fine, 10w30 is fine as well.

Hmmm... Nah! syncro all day every day. my tranny still works for that soul reason. but yea, thats just my opinion. Im sure oil is fine, its OEM.

Amsoil mtf; it is very similar to the gm friction modified so it could also be seen as a bandaid for a worn transmission, however it meets and exceeds the requirements by many manufacturers Honda is one of them.

that tranny was jacked when i first got the H. made it last a very long time with that "band-aid" but now its broke so im using a F series tranny, which sucks big time. turbo is all here, just waiting for some more parts.
H2B is gonna go on the hatch when i find a H longblock. all mounts and goodies NA build are in the shed.

Yeah, i still haven't decided if I'm going to bother with a mild swap for my car.

i use only honda MTF it has never failed me...and yes synchromesh will help fix a messed up trans. though, i never found a reason use it on a good trans.

Sometimes will help band-aid a trans, it won't fix anything, and it doesn't always work.

Kyoh

What do you guys think about Royal Purple?

THC07

Over rated and too expensive. but i have no experiences with it so i shouldnt say anything. maybe you should search a bit

EDIT, yea 75w-90 bad idea

Do NOT use gear oil in your transmission......

10w30 works fine use syncromesh if you have a notchy or grinds in the transmission.
