Default did some search already question about what manual trans fluid to use..(i use to use gm syncro)

alright well my shift rod seal got changed and now its just regular 1030 oil in there well half syn half regular, i bought 2 quarts of mobil 1 75-90 syn gear lube, would this be alright?

i forgot what the bottle on gm syncro said i belive it was a 75-90w rating to? haha i work at a gm stealership but i bought the last 2 gm syncromesh like 4months ago and since no one ever buys it they dont order no more

is 75-90w synthetic gear lube ok to run? i know the manual says 1030 regular oil but gm syncromesh also has a high rating i used that for a couple months and its real good but i needed to pick somethign up fast instead of going to find one at a local gm dealer.

dont use any of that gear oil crap. honda trannys are designed for thin oil to get in small passages. use the honda MTF or synchromesh. no mixing!
