So i just got my '95 integra LS back on the road.

This car only sees 0 to -40*C temps I was wondering if there is a trans oil that does good in the cold, or if i should just stick with honda factory trans oil, since the stuff is pretty thin anyways. obviously the trans will warm up as I drive but I never drive it hard.

Once warmed up, I noticed that when shifting slow there is a slight "chunk" but if i go quick its pretty smooth, and I honestly never take the car past 3k rpm however when i was testing it out last year I noticed it does have a slight grind going into 3rd at high rpm, is this going to become more of a problem at the lower rpms if I go to a thinner oil? im usually shifting around 2400-2600.

 

honda mtf, redline, royal purple... good idea to change it before the winter

 

thanks for recommending the 3 types of oil that i would get recommend no matter where or what specifics i asked. really, big help, thanks

 

..... so what did you want to hear??? you can put 10w30 in it i guess .. might be hard to shift when cold

 

did you even read the first post?
I want someone who has experience specifically in the cold so that its NOT as hard to shift, because the trans is not mint. just trying to see if there is something i should avoid thats all.
