WHAT FLUID SHOULD GO IN MY ITR TRANNY

Been told different thing's by like four people ?

I was told you wanna use a reg. syntheic motor oil the same weight as your motor is running ? Other's said you want oem honda gear box oil ? My buddy told me if your driving high performance engine its harder on a transmission you want a light but resiliant fluid that won't break down like the stuff for stock OEM application's ? I'm putting in redline 10-30w with prolong tranny treatment do guy's know if this will be o.k. ? THANX 4 THE HELP !

Re: (Mr.Mugen)

Honda is gonna tell you to use their mtf, I think maybe in 92-95 and also before that they might call for 10w30. I thought I could use mobil 1 gear oil cause most of the trannys, and transfer cases I've had in various vehicles call for 75w90 or 80w90, so I called mobil 1 and they said all the could recommend was honda mtf. I have a 97 with manual and all I use is mtf.

HONDA MTF! THAT IS ALL!

The redline will cause synchros to wear out prematurely.

HONDA MTF!

Re: (intekragsr)

My friends ITR had a 3rd gear syncro grind at 8,000 rpm shifts....he was running Honda MTF. He switched to GM's syncromesh and the grinds are now gone. Take from that what you will.

Re: (civicsitek)

Honda MTF, and if you're worried about it breaking down, change it more regularly, like yearly or sooner. I'm running a Quaife LSD and race the tranny, it still shifts good after 80000 miles.
