Is the OEM LSD compatible with GM synchromesh transmission fluid? I have the infamous 3rd gear grind under load....just making sure i'm not going to mess up my LSD diff.

 

I don't see how it would affect it. I'd like to know though.

I agree, the new MTF even has an updtated formula with friction modifiers of it's own.

 

I did use oem honda fluid. I just read on the boards here that synchromesh helps with worn sychros. I'v used it before with my dsm and nissan and liked the results. Oh well guess i need to pull the trans and fix 3rd.

 

syncromesh in my opinion is the best! I wouldn't use anything else.

 

You might want to look into Amsoil they just came out with a new synthetic to replace GM syncromesh, Honda MTF, and a few others.
