Default Does anything mix with GM Syncromesh?

Like it says, does anything mix safely with syncromesh? I think I'm a little low, and I want to just top it off without spending the big bucks for another whole quart of syncromesh. I'm running the friction modified version, if that makes a difference.

I ended up buying a quart of the pennzoil brand stuff, because it says on the bottle that it's the equivilant to the GM and Chrysler part numbers. I forget the wording, but the bottle made it sound like it was the same thing, and it was like $5 or $6, so it's cheaper than buying the real stuff at the dealership. I've had it in there for about a week now with no problems, for whatever that's worth.

i bought a quart too..but only a quart since i'm gonna buy the GM syncromesh FRICTION MODIFIED to see if it "smells" the same.
i smelled the penzoil, it didn't smell too awful...i remember taking a wiff of the gm syncromesh friction modified, and it smelled horrible. i'm going to buy a quart tomorrow at the gm dealer and compare smells


i mixed gm syncromesh friction modified and honda MTF no problems. i liked it way better than just honda mtf.

it's not a matter of being poor (although I am a poor college kid), it's more a matter of if they really are the same thing, I'd much rather pay half price for pennzoil than twice that for GM.
