Plenty of people use synchromesh. Grinding synchro's have been covered many times, and solutions to solving them have been answered. I recommend searching the recent and archived threads.

Me personally no, I've never had gear's grind. I use OEM Honda MTF. Syncromesh is said to only "hide" the grinds, not fix them.

LS tranny I believe is a little bit over 2 quarts. Let me check the helm's manual real quick.

 

2.2 quarts of 10w-30 or 10w-40

 

I use pennzoil's sycromesh in my d-series and i have to say i love the stuff.........it completly eliminated my third gear grind (our just hid it) but to say the least i have no more noisy grinds anymore

 

i use honda mtf cause,(working at honda ftw) its free! but if you do want to use sycromesh use the gm sycromesh with FM.

Depending on how bad that grind is you can also use Redline Super Light-Weight Shock-Proof gear oil. That's a mouth full, but the stuff works like butter.

good stuff and cheap as well.

 

Synchromesh is just a band-aid. it doesn't "fix" the grinds. It will help decrease them though.

Grinds happen from rounded synchros, the only fix for that is replacement.
