Default Best transmission fluid?

1992 prelude with 1993 h22a swap with m2a4 transmission. manual

Whats the best transmission fluid to use. im changing my clutch, throw out bearing and input shaft bearing this week. even though I got a transmission flush last month, may as well put new fluid in and not re use what i drain.

thanks

There is no best. Try different stuff and see what you and the trans like. If its a streetcar with a stock motor I like pennzoil synchromesh.

Many will say honda genuine MTF, many will say 10w-30, many will say synchromesh. Its really a personal preference. I've tried all 3 and I personally think Honda MTF is to thin and makes it feel like nothing when you shift. Synchromesh and 10w-30 for me. Whatever is cheaper usually.

Torco MTF is good stuff, shifts nice and doesn't break down very fast.

Torco MTF for street cars, Torco RTF for track cars or high power/high RPM setups.

Spiker has/had a dog plate box, why he needs the LWSP.....I hate cleaning it out of a case!!!!

For NA SOHC RR cars, I know a few running 50/50 Torco RTF/MTF, also what I'm running in my street CRX transmission.
