*BEFORE* i get flamed i searched and found nothing topic related, unless i am blind. with that said.

What trans fluid are being used, i have heard AMSOIL, HONDA MTF, it was also suggested to us General Motors SYNCROMESH fluid. post up what your using and maybe what/how it compares to HONDA MTF.

Thanks Joe

 

haven't had any problems with the honda mtf

 

I have the amsoil 5w-30 mtf. I don't feel the difference. I doubt you will either but that doesn't mean it's not good stuff. You should only feel or hear a difference is if you don't have enough fluid in there.

 

i put ams syncomesh in mine and noticed a nice difference with smother less notchy gear changes.

 

^in your head. It's psycological...You changed the fluid and wanted to feel a difference so you did.

 

i have tried alot of different fluids and honda MTF is what i have found to work the best and is pretty inexpensive compared to others

 

yeah ok buddy

 

i changed my tranny fluid with honda mtf and i love it.
it still shifts as smooth the first day i got my car.
i was curious to try the royal purple mtf.

 

^"yeah ok buddy"???

Dude.....it's tranny fluid....not super fluid. You feel nothing. You hear me, nothing. I use the good stuff too, but it's just for peace of mind so I feel better about beating the **** out of the car. But to say you feel it running smoother is just stupid...That's right I called you stupid bro.

Hey crazy 4 honda I paid like 8 bucks for a quart of honda mtf...not exactly inexpensive when compared with other fluids as you say.

Castrol synthetic mtf was like 7.50 for at autozone and the amsoil I bought was 8.50. So I would call the honda mtf premium priced stuff

 

just like that turbo right?

you wanted to feel a difference, so you did lol jk

its all fun and games with you ajp.

 

Well no, no the turbo and the acceleration I feel is very real but the feelings I get of thinking I am a turbo god I think are pyscological! haha. It gives me feelings of such power!

 

x98234. it's the same exact thing as when somebody changes their engine oil to some super jdm high tech oil from japan and all of a sudden their engine is running smoother.

 

vladd are you on any of the WRX forums..That cat?

 

nope, no wrx forums. why?

 

There is a guy on there with a white cat on his avatar and it's making a serious face and at the bottom it says the internet is serious buisseness like your sig!...just thought it was you

ok carry on

 

thanks for the input guys, greatly appreciated. i use amsoil for regular oil changes ill put that in the trans as well! thanks again

 

People run Synchomesh to fix issues with grinding, if you're not having any issues the new formula for Honda MTF is pretty damn good. I run that in the S2K. And I'm sampling engine oils now.

 

nope, that's not me. i have that line in my sig cuz people used to whine that i hurt their feelings around here. the internet IS pretty serious business .

 

For those with the 6sp in the Si; I changed about 2 months ago to Amsoil MTF and it is a world of difference for the 3rd gear issue. I could not believe that the oil made such a difference in what I thought was a mechanical problem. Totally fixed now.

 

forr those of you who dout it, try it. you def. feel a difference, the shifts are alot smooth and no notchyness. By the way i put amsoil in my tranny and it is pour SEX!!!!

 

I put amsoil in and didn't notice a difference.

And somtimes it is said that notchyness is a desired feel as it represents actions of the gearbox that are direct and firm and not soft and rubbery

I'm not saying the amsoil mtf is not superior fluid, cause I think it is but it will not create an overwhelmingly feeling physical difference

 

 

Won't argue with what other people experienced but I had notorious shifting issue when I first got my car (07 SI) and noticed immediate difference when I went with Amsoil's MTF. Obviously, it's not going to solve our flaky 2-3rd gear but I can attest that it's a whole lot smoother.
