During the cold weather my fifth gear grinds alittle, during my upshift. Guys? If you have suggestions, please let me know from your personal experiences with the H22a4 motor's tranny fluids.

 

honda mtf. thats all i put in my tranny, works better than anything else i have tried. i have not tried gm syncromesh however, people say this is pretty good too.

penzoil syncromesh

 

honda MTF.

 

I've always used MObil1 10w-30 and never had any problems.......

so there's a problem with h22a gearboxes and the 5th gear grinding etc..... and they always recommend syncromesh etc... and these are the one that always seem to complain about grinds......go figure...

for me, 10w-30, 130,000 miles a lot of which are on the track and travelling to and from school etc... and still no grinds.

me too, the difference was a dry tranny after 500 miles, that **** just flowed out of the seals.

back to honda MTF, no grinds, and cheap, available, stock, works, good, quality, JDM, honda, manual transmission fluid.

smells good too.

does anyone else have a weird thing for tranny fluid, like i want to make perfume out of it and give it to my [next] girlfriend.

anyone?

 

If I did, I dont think that I would openly admitt to something like that.

 

Is there a difference in GM or Penzoil synchromesh?

 

HONDA MTF. old honda owner's manuals reccomend 10/30, newer ones reccomend honda mtf. use syncromesh if your tranny is on its way out.

About to put Red Line MTF in my I'll let you know how its works.

 

I just poured the Penzoil syncromesh in my tranny today. I will test my car tommorrow when the temperature is cold. My tranny will only grind from 4th to fifth in the cold weather.

I read on a post somewhere that there are two types of syncromesh from Penzoil. Is this true?

 

This morning when I started out my driveway, shifting was a little notchy. But the gears were caught pretty tight. As far as force acceleration, amazingly, my shift from fourth to fifth gear did not grind at all. As the engine heats up, the shifting became very smooth. So far so good. I hope this tranny fluid keeps up. I would like to thank the HT community for their input.

 

there shouldnt be 2 types just one is from penz and the other from the gm dealership

and i have been useing redline in mine sence i did my tranny swap and i love it people say you have to change it every month but it still works the way it did the first day i drove it from the shop and its still the same in this cold weather we just got i take the ice off my windows and turn the car on and drive and it feels the same as it does when its warm

 

Thanks. That was a relief.

 

i use honda MTF and 20% lucus mine been fine ever since. i been running that for about 10,000 miles and still running just my 2 cents

honda mtf and royal purple have worked the best for me

but during the winter do let your car run for a while?

 

old gear oil smells nasty, rear nasty even worse on a trucks rear diff. Also do you know about the TSB for the ludes 5th gear upshift grind?

 

I used Honda MTF originally than switched to Pennzoil Synchromesh, and recently switched to Redline MT-90. Out of the 3 I like the Redline the best, but really I don't mind using Honda MTF either.

 

I think it about a misalign shifting fork. Who knows. I know some guys come out of the dealer to repair that problem with the tranny. Months down the line, they still have the same problem.
