Ok i need to change my fluid, my tranny grinds in third sometimes and the tranny is pitch black in color not normal. One question what fluid should i use between the GM syncron mesh thing or the honda one but i dont now withch one to pick the GM cost me about 8buks a 1/4 and do i buy synthetic nor non-synthetic and if i choose the Honda one , witch one should i buy . Another ? is how many 1/4's on a 94 acura integra Rs 5-speed. Your help will truely be appreciated thanx a lot.

 

ohh and is there a transmission filter or no if yes where is it located thanx.

 

should take about 2 qts. and no theres no tranny filter. u might want to go with a heavy weight. that usually helps out with minor grindings.

 

with one the honda stuff or gm

 

up to you. between honda and gm.

and if you did research you should know that the tranny takes about 2.2 quarts

 

Just pick up 3 quarts of MTF at your local Honda or Acura dealer, and you'll be all set.

 

There is no choice between synthetic or non. You either get Honda MTF and dump it in, or get GM Synchromesh Friction Modified and dump it in.

My tranny has 247K miles on it, using GM SM FM the past 100K miles and has no grinds whatsoever.

 

ok im doing it as i type i drain out the fluid took of the speed sensor and their is no hole big enought that looks like i can dump the fluid in by the way i bought GM syc
FM one and also i drain out the fluid yet their is still fluid in the cylinder next to the brake master cylinder

 

wow. i dont think you should be doing this. THAT RESERVOIR NEXT TO YOUR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IS YOUR CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR TRANNY. Get some Redline MTL tranny fluid, get a fluid pump thingy (so you can extract the fluid from the bottle and pump it into the tranny via fill hole. ) and call it a day.

 

just read this and dont destoy anything else

if you already drained your clutch fluid then you can refill it with dot 3 brake fluid.

 

get oem honda oil for the tranny!

 

ok i changed it but i still have third gear grind how much more miles do i need to put to feel a difference

 

Well if the synchros are badly worn, they may simply be beyond the ability of the fluid to mask the symptoms.

 

Give it a couple weeks and see how it is then.

 

searched my *explitive* this has to be like the 5th thread on what fluid to use and how to change fluid. Another useless thread.

this forum has been around for idk how long, but there are only so many questions that can be asked before people start repeating them.
