after i finishe my swap this past weekend i went to test drive my car and it drive great then the tranyn started to whine a little mostly in 2nd gear and a little in other gears then the whining got louder i got worried i didnt know what it was. i must have driven about a good 10-15 miles liek this before my dumb *** remembered i drained the tranny fluid and forgot to fill it back up . i stopped the car and had a friend pick me up and i went to buy 3 quarts of mobile 1 full synthetic 10W-30 and i filled her up. i drive the4 car easily for a couple of miles and the whining sound went away considerably but i can still hear it a little in 2nd gear but it goes away in the upper rpm range. other than the noise there is nothing else wrong not grinding no strange noises other than the slight whining. what damage have i done? and will i be ok or is it too late. i mean the trany is fine now except for the whining. any thoughts?

 

anyone?

 

As long as it runs I'd continue to drive it. Big to you for not filling the tranny back though.

 

you might want to try some gm syncromesh fluid. but your tranny will still hate you.

 

yea i know i fucked up big time with that. i feel so stupid
but the tranny drives fine its a 95 gsr tranny that only had 50000 miles on it when i got it and i oput about 3000 miles on it so far and abot 15 miles on it with no fluid. i think it should be ok though i used mobile 1 synthetic in it

 

I don't suggest dropping motor oil in a tranny. They make MTF for a reason.

 

well i might need to go pick up soe GM friction syncromesh fluid. but honestly i have done over 10 swaps for just my self and have always used 10w-30 oil and never EVER had a problem and i drive the **** outta my cars

 

Good stuff. I myself have never used motor oil and never will. I would suggest the GM syncromesh though. It's good stuff.

 

the tranny should be fine, probably didnt do any damage.
EDIT:
regular oil isnt all that bad but you should NEVER use synthetic in a transmission... go get honda mtl right now or the gm synchromesh.
