Hey I was just getting everything ready for race season and I decided I would try something different for the transmission fluid. I usually use cheap 10w30*** (not 5w30 made a typo) as suggested. What do you guys use in your stock transmissions? I have a stock SOHC ex tranny from a 2000 civic. Thanks I appreciate the advice!

 

Thumb'd through some pages and seems people use torco and royal purple fluids. Is there any fluid people use that is easier to find maybe at say walmart?

 

i use gm synchromesh but has to be the modified friction one

 

The Honda stuff.

 

Torco here...

 

Theres a few good threads if you search.

 

Honda MTF.

 

I have been searching but you can imagine the globs of info I need to sift through. Sometimes people change their opinions over time/experience. That is why I am just checking in. People said the Honda MTF was something to stay away from.

 

been using the GM syncromesh with friction modifiers myself...I like it a lot, but I think I'm going to try the torco stuff this time around for ****'s and giggles.

 

I had a thread asking a similar questions here are some results.

Perfect thanks for all the help guys. I know all the options just seeing what is considered the "best"

 

Honda MTF or 10w30

 

Honda MTF!! Ive tried everything. This is the only one that wont wear out synchros. GM syncromesh is ok as well. But i still find the honda superior!

 

Went with valveline 10w30 seeing as how it is a stock tranny. Cheap and easy! Once I get a LSD im gunna swap over to torco RTF!

i use libertys fluid in my trans

 

I just bought a used 97 accord/manual tranny. The 5th gear was grinding very noticeably, and the 3rd gear was grinding every now and then. I just changed the tranny fluid with the new Honda MTF, and all I can say is woooowwww. There are now no more grinds in the gears, and it's shifting smoothly. I thought it was going to take a few hundred miles for it to smooth out, but I'm now a honda mtf believer.

 

It probably had no fluid in it to begin with. Any proper fluid in that situation would make it not grind.
