I went to the dealership, asked for the GM syncromesh FM, they said for what car, I told them a Honda. they said no, i said cross ref the viscosity, they got all pissy, and came out with this, i only bought one, to make sure it was the right kind first.

Is it the right #s ? for a H tranny.
Any idea how many of these ill need?

Thanks HT TIA

 

Im curious also cause in honda 5 speed tranny's it calls for 10/30 motor oil

 

That's the right stuff. Don't know how many qts it takes, but for a b-series I have to buy 3, because it was like 2.1 qts.

 

Honda tranny calls for honda MTF. I used to use 10-30, I feel that the car shifts better using hondas fluid.

 

use that **** works great

 

That's the right one, and you'll need 2 more bottles.

 

penzoil syncromesh ftw
i rock it in my ek and it shifts alot smoother

pennzoil is the same stuff as the gm brand and actually makes it for them you just pay more for their name on the bottle. If you have lsd you should use fm but use the regular synchromesh for open diffs.

To the op... you expect to goto the gm dealer and tell them to cross reference to a honda? I would be suprised if they could even do it. Honda uses their mtf and because of that it's not something you can find like the typical 80w90 that you can go buy anywhere that most other manual transmissions use. They want you to have to go back to the dealer and buy their parts.

 

just tell them its for your corvette

 

Tell them it's for your Viper... Viper use those fluid

thanks for info above,

its a Honda & GM & Dodge dealership, so yeah i expected them to know.

 

i used to work for penzoil and i still get the products at cost so i just buy them.^

 

#12377916. It's burned into my memory. That's the stuff you want. There are several variations, but that's the one with the friction modifier

Is there any reason to this? jw.

 

how much is it a quart?

 

it was 12.78 for one qt.

 

i put that in my b16 tranny, shifts seemed a little more clicky with that, but barely noticable difference.
Unless your having a problem with your tranny shifing, just stick with the honda fluid.

 

is this safe for a d16y7 tranny?

the friction modified helps when your running a clutch type lsd. I know on ford and chevy's if they have a locking rearend with a clutch type locker they reccommend a friction additive to be added in. Running regular synchromesh in a clutch type lsd would be too slippery for the clutches to work properly and you need the friction for them to operate properly. There are a lot of other threads on "synchromesh" if you search for it

there are 28 threads archived just in this forum alone and if you choose the box where it does all the forums it has 2 recent and 133 archived threads when you search for synchromesh.

Then if you search for syncromesh it has 1 recent thread and 84 archived ones.

synchromesh technically has an "h" in it but I'm not anyones english teacher.

 

OK, so a bone stock '99 EX sedan daily driver with 95k on the clock. Shifting has got a bit notchy with Redline MTL in it. Should we got back to Honda MTF or go regular Syncromesh?

 

regual syncromesh
