what tranny fluid is every one using? I went to a local acura dealership and asked for integra type R tranny fluid or LSD fluid and they told me that they just use regular honda tranny fluid for the ITR LSD trannies!?

any suggestions?

 

Yes, listen to your dealer. (Just this one time)

 

lol
so you guys just use regular honda tranny fluid in your trannies? anything better?

 

If you're running a stock ITR LSD, use Honda MTF. You'll be fine.

 

 

I've used GM Synchroshift in the past, it also does a fine job.

GLS vs. Honda Tranny Fluid

 

Castrol GTX 10w-30 Smooth hi- rpm shifting

 

Never use anything but Honda MTF, it has things that keeps the tranny working smooth.

 

if you sat down and compared the viscocity of normal 5-w30 oil with honda MTF...you will see quite a difference. You will also see that the 5w-30 oil is much thicker...and that the mtf runs like water compared.

ok I got bored and did a "Drip" test.

My tranny shifts smoother than ever before and the grinding 3rd mysteriously dissappeared. So far I don't see anything special about Honda MTF.
