</TD></TR></TABLE> you can use that but i give it a only cause i love .... GM synchromesh!!! this **** is the best.. it gives more protection then the honda fluid does!!.. i think you need something like 2.8 quarts.. to fill it.. i dont remeber .. def dont need more then 4

 

ive used honda mtf, redline mtl, gm synchromesh, gm fm synchromesh... quite honestly they all get the job done. I do like redline and gm a tad better though.

 

how much does it take? any ideas? i would guess like 2 quarts?

 

fill it from the VSS and pull the plus in the tranny fill the tranny from the top till it drips out from the fill hole on the side of the case

 

awsome. thanks guys.

 

A D series tranny is 1.8 qts ( I know this for sure). A B series tranny is 2.5 (I think.)

According to the Helms, it only takes 1.8 (and that's how much I put in mine when I changed it as well).

 

motor oil or Honda Manual Transmission Fluid will work

 

 

there it is . great stuff

 

i got pennzoil syncromesh. i hope it is the same thing or close enough

 

anyone knows if there is any difference between AC delco/Quaker State Syncromesh to the GM syncromesh? they dont carry the GM stuff here anymore

Before Honda released their own line of MTF 10-30 motor oil was specified for use in their manual transmissions.

i'm guessing you've had problem with grinding b4 using honda fluids? From my experience, i haven't had any problems with grinding after using honda MTF.
