i was wondering what tranny fluid u guys used in ur GSR's or Ls's.... seems like the Acura stuff aint cutting it for my driving.. help me out... plz

 

what do you mean its not cutting it?

 

check out Pennzoil syncromesh or GM syncromesh.

Its good stuff, search.

 

redline MTF
honda MTF

driving carefully and not grinding gears

 

Honda MTF has been cuttin it for almost 300K miles in my 92 RS.

maybe you dont know how to drive

 

well u could b right... but i dont think so... i race scca and drag race weekly... so i dont think so..

 

hmmm, honda mtf has been working out great for me.

how is it not cutting it for you? what is it doing?

 

you can mix but i would DEFFINATELY not reccomend using all gm synchromesh. it is too thin for honda gearboxs

1/2q synchromesh 1.75 10w30 or honda mtf

or try synthetic 10w30

people run that stuff all the time. its been tried and proven to work

 

yeah but for how long can u run it?????

our synchros NEED thick oil, viscocity rating is TOO low with synchromesh alone. DONT run it by itself. light weight oils in our b/h/d/k transmissions are the number one reason for premature syncho failure!!!!!!

mix it it will help...

the only reason the gm stuff gets rid of grinding is b/c its able to better lubricate while the oil is still cold. once it gets hot the metal softens up and the synchros start to wear out and the grinding will stop b/c the light lube and the soft hot synchro surface

with regular 10w/30 or honda mtf if it will grind while the oil is still cold and will go away as soon as it becomes more fluid and the thicker oil sticks to the synchros much better.

lucas trans fluid would be a good lubricant but it has a high tendeancy to foam up

just stick with what i posted above
10w/30 reg. or syn. and mix it with alil synchromesh

go with redline synthetic MTL - its a 10w30 and formulated for high temp and fast shifting. I have some in my GSR and i just autox occasionally. works good for me

 

i use honda mtf and its been working great but i don't race regularly. maybe try using redline.
