Do you know this for sure? I hear that synthetic oil destroys synchros. I heard that MTF is oil with special additives.

hey, let him try that synthetic in his tranny for 3 months, and he'll see what will happen to his tranny!

 

thks for the warning....

 

Use original Honda MTF or try Red line MTF. My friend just put some Honda MTF in his Y21 and all he said smooth

The only people that I have heard say good things about red line, started using it when the tranny was brand new / freshly rebuilt. People who use it in used trannies seem to develop problems shortly after.

 

i froze honda mtf once. use 10w30 oil

 

Use Honda MTF, it has special additives to prevent wear unlike just regular motor oil.

 

i hear gm syncromesh fluid is a miracle worker in worn trannies. i have a ys1 ls tranny with mtf no probs here.
