I have a 2000 Civic Si and just recently 3rd started to grind. If I shift slowly, it wont do it...however anything above 5,000 rpms...causes a slight grind normally shifting into 3rd.

Ive read a few previous post and remembering people occuring this same problem, however changing over to a nice tranny fluid..sometimes made it go away.

Any of you guys recommend a certain tranny fluid, that make this problem go away? If so, what and where do I buy this fluid?

Thanks for any help you can provide

 

GM Synchromesh Friction Modified

 

GM Synchromesh FM

EDIT: God I'm too slow

Thanks again guys..

 

GM synchromesh part #
12377916

 

HANDS down synchromesh
been using for a year now and this **** is jesus fuild i swear

 

Without me having to look for it, how many quarts should I buy for a 2000 civic Si B16 S4 tranny?

 

gm syncromesh part# 12346190

 

i believe the correct amount is 2.2 quarts so you will have to get 3, but I can never seem to get more than 2 in my tranny? who knows!

 

wow, I just called Chevy..and they said its 22.00 a quart! Is that what you guys paid for it?

 

if that;s too much for you you can also try the penzoil syncro shizzle too, it worked my me...and my buddy

 

difference between syncromesh, and syncromesh FM?

Because I just put a quart of regular syncromesh into my car.

 

$22....... that sounds right....

 

Honda Manual Transmission Fluid sucks ***. Should've got the Sychromesh but I'm a cheap bastard. Don't go cheap like me.

 

syncromesh and honda tranny fluid is about the same. friction modified is used on LSD trannys but you can use it on your regular.

 

I am using redline shockproof lightweight. Its around 5-8 dollars a qt. It got rid of my grinds and tranny isnt edgy anymore.

 

redline has been good for me, i also use gm synchromesh which has been good for me.

this is the full synthetic syncromesh made by castrol. you can get it for $11-12/qt. at gmpartsdirect.com

 

there was a crazy thread about this awhile ago...

search under user in archives (egstreethtch)

 

thanks for all the responses guys,

So what its come down too ...is should I buy the GM sychromesh or Redline Tranny fluid?

Any experience both? If you like Redling oil better...what exact model did you get and if so..what is the part number?

I just want to experience and "try" to get rid of the grind...I dont really care of the cost factor.

Thanks guys again for all your knowledge and help
