What should be used in the gsr 5 speed as far as fluid?

2.5 qts?

I looked at autozone and saw nothing and they did not know what to sell me.

Thank you

honda manuel transmission fluid

 

in the autozone computers it says "10w-30 or 10w-40" but i suggest mobil 1 10w-30.

 

10w 30 motor oil?

Reg or synthetic?

 

synchromesh, like 1.5qt will be enough

I saw nothing that said synchromesh at the local parts shops.

Try any GM dealer's parts counter. Also, i think its 1.8 qts for a b tranny.

neither one of you guys must have completely drained the trans, or you were not on a level surface. you should buy 3 quarts, and if properly drained and level, it will take 2.4 quarts or so.

oh, and my take is to run regular honda mtf. nothing wrong with it at all.

I don't even own a B, but my H took 2.1 qts to fill after my swap. Never knew a B tranny held more fluid.

No i wasnt on a level surface, i jacked the drivers side up to drain it, then i jacked the passenger side up to fill it, so i could get more in... i bought 2 n didnt get the 2nd one all the way in... so maybe more like 1.7.. The manuel said 2.3 i think, but i couldnt get that much in even w/ one side jacked up
Autozone carries it

 

your tranny should take no more then 2.5 use HG. honda genuine MTF. or syncromesh

 

Personally, People have told me not to do it, But I use 1 quart of Penzoil Synchomesh, and the Remaining 2.2 Quarts of Mobil 0-40. I've never had ANY problems and shifts very smoothly.

yup. i usually pour all 3 qts in the vss hole and then pop out the fill plug to let the excess out. because i am too cheap to go get a plews suction gun. but 2.4-2.8 qts should be the correct number.

and i always use honda MTF.

 

i just double checked in the helms, looks like it is 2.4 quarts for overhaul, 2.3 for fluid change.
