Default tranny grinding

My tranny grinds in 2nd gear when on high rpm's they told me to put heavier oil on the tranny, i am currently using 10w30. Plus when on first gear and accelerating the car slowly, i get to hear some squizi noise, like some metals rubing.

f22b1 stock with f1 racing stage 3 six puck clutch kit.

for manual tranny fluid, i used Pennzoil Syncromesh in my f22b1, gears used to grind at high RPMs, now it doesnt anymore. you can also go to a GM dealership and buy their syncromesh.

The grinding is coming from worn out sycronizers. The syncromesh is a good temporary fix but the problem will still be there. Try it and if it doesn't work you may have to swap it.

The transaxle input shaft bearing is about to give up. Start looking for a used tranny.
