Car drives very smooth and stays very cool. Took all day, took my time and enjoyed myself. Nice day out and nice easy work for a change.



Results:
Shifts feel crisp but smooth. 0 Grinds, (as usual). used mixture given.
Car is about 5% cooler Id say... I used the mixture given.
Brake feel same as does clutch. Did not bleed either system.

did this with my friend Billy who will most likely post some of the strange happenings with his car and having too much oil in it.

Just out of curiosity how did you come up with that mixture for the tranny fluid. Most people I know say to just run one thing or another, don't mix. Interesting.

Did some reading on the properties of each. Decided that for maximum lubrication I needed a mixture. Honda MTF is essentially automatic tranny fluid and 10w30 Honda non-syn oil. I wanted a little more Non-syn, and the properties of GM Syncromesh. Just came up with that as my final solution.
