saw this on Modified Mag. saying that Brown and his crew uses a $1000 Honda tranny. Doesn't say if it is Automatic, but it does state that they use Quaker State ATF fluid...????? hummmm!!!! 5spd OEM honda tranny with QS ATF <----a secret!!!

shed some light...any words to enlighten????

 

good question!!!

 

Does Quaker State even offer a MTF???

 

?

 

yeah they do sell manual trans fluid....I think it's their top-of-the-line 10W-40 oil.

 

maybe it was a typo??

 

from last i remember seeing johns (steven thompson) car had a factory gsr tranny

 

he is running a stock gear box

 

It has a stock honda 5 speed manual.

 

maybe he doesn't use qs? Maybe he just reps them for the cool paint scheme or vyinal

 

They said they use a stock tranny compared to the others using a 20grand or so clutchless tranny.

They also said they use quakers mtf.......and that has expanded the life...but that's all for advertisement and helping your sponsers out.

of course your gonna say their product help u do this and that.

 

no no no ... go back and reread guy.... "ATF"

OCT 2004 Issue

qoute:"Most notably, Quaker State's Special Import ATF transmission fluid has increased the lifespan of the team's Pro FWD stock Honda transmission by more than 50 percent."

This cannont be a mistake. If so Modified Mag. editors has got to go back to ESL.

 

so maybe he uses auto tranny fluid in his manual tranny, lol, who the hell knows!

All we know is its not an auto tranny

 

LOL.. yeah Ron.. should try the ATF....

btw how much whp do you make on a dynojet??? jc

 

Actually Modified Mag didnt write that press release.

I proof readed it and edited it prior to its release on behalf of JBR...

I don't recall if it stated ATF or MTF... I'm not at my main computer to read what the original release was.

I'm pretty sure the basis of the release was to discuss the usage of Quaker State's oils that have helped reinforce an otherwise stock transmission in a PRO class.

 

Honda had us putting ATF in some manual gearboxes a few years back. It was a fix for a fluid related noise from the differential on sharp turns at low speed. I believe some GM manual gearboxes for the F-body vehicles used ATF as well.

 

Lots of Ford manual transmissions have used atf for a long time now.
