Default Simple poll about best manual tranny oil

I'd like to see which you people prefer with a cable tranny, if it matters b series mainly.
If my tranny doesn't grind should I still go with the Honda MTF?

and what's the specific kind of the GM syncromesh again?

this is going to be for my j1 tranny w/a ls 5th gear

Put 'Silktran 5' by Silkolene on the list and I'll vote. Same type of stuff just made for the motorsport industry with excellant properties

this poll is not accurate because it is going to be a bunch of opinions and no real facts

Unless it's been tested comparitively then yes, it's based mainly on opinions.

I only use Honda MTF... Used to use 10W30-40 but it just never seemed to work as well with the synchros (friction additives perhaps? )

ah that link posted up well i finally got to read it in full.

I think the wear on the syncros isn't going to be that much quicker than say the thinner honda mtf
