I just recieved a JDM ITR Transmisison with the stock LSD and the 4.7 Final. The car is used mainly as and autox and road racing car with the occasional street driving. I am asking what type of transmission fluid you guys would recommend.

Thanks

 

Honda MTF as long as it doesn't grind. If it does, GM syncromesh friction modified. Search will help explain why.

Also makes ya wonder why you'd try something different.

 

gas mileage via friction. and it was the same price as honda MTF for me. We sell amsoil products at the shop.

 

Honda MTF....bleh.

GM Syncromesh all the way

 

honda/acura MTF... i do mine every other oil change(was doing it every oil change but found that it still looked brand new..)

 

I use redline 75/80 gear oil.

 

Penzoil Syncromesh

 

I use Honda MTF II and regular Honda MTF in the ITR's.

No problems whatsoever.

IIRC 3 should do it for ya.

 

Thanks guys for all of the help and advice. I'll let you know what I decide to use.

 

There is nothing wrong with Honda MTF.....

 

96,000 miles with Honda MTF in a heavily tracked car.

The transmission is the only thing that hasn't broken so far.

 

MTF is a beautiful thing

as long as it's friction modified

 

I think I'm going to go with the Redline MTL. Any idea how many quarts the trans should take?

IIRC around 3

 

Takes 2.3 quarts, 2.5 after you spill a little.... so get 3

 

Thanks.

 

Pakelo or Motul

I don't know about Motul anymore. I killed it off within 1.5 months with only 2 gymkana events and everyday driving. Next for me is going to be Omega. Currently running Royal Purple only because the base had it for sale and I needed to dump the Motul as I was popping out of first gear, since the change, haven't popped out of gear.

Then I wonder why Honda JPN recommends MTF-II for the NSX, S2K, DC5R and the 2006 Civic?
