Do you guys know where I can get this stuff in Toronto? I am looking for the friction modified version

 

I can pick up a bottle and ship it to you. I mean your gonna pay more that way but if you cant get ahold of it for whatever reason just lemme know .

 

don't they have it at a GM dealer? Might have to go to a place that specializes in GM performance

Go to a GM dealership. I picked it up there. I think it was Pine View GM (the one in woodbridge)

I'd suggest strongly to stay away from this stuff if you value your syncros

 

care to elaborate soup ****? I have only heard good things about it

 

if you search for syncromesh, one of the other ITR members laid out the dispute in a very organized manner.

essentially its along the lines of the syncromesh fluid allowing for a "butter" feel at the cost of wearing your syncros down at a much faster rate.

 

I ordered 3 bottles from GM dealer last summer (Lakeshore/ bay downtown toronto), took almost a month to get them..

 

Mr. Lube carries it.

It does this at the expense of synchro longevity, of course. This is not exactly news. However, many ppl consider this tradeoff to be well worth it. Just bear in mind that you aren't doing your tranny any favor by running any of these oils. You can't have it both ways. Less friction makes the synchros last longer, but you will get some 'grinding' when you shift. More friction makes the synchros work better, with less grinding, but it also makes them wear out faster...

If GM Synchromesh works better than anything else, and I'll have to take your word for it - having never used it, all that tells me is it's also the hardest on your synchros. Don't go into these blindly! It's a cruel world we live in, isn't it?

Keeping in mind Wayne what the **** has said, EXCELLENT and correct information , this fluid can be had at ANY GTA GM/Chev dealer...although they may have to order it in...

 

Gm syncromesh is crap, this stuff turned buttery on me in 2000kms.. For $2 more per litre just get the redline MTL, its good stuff.

 

Why can't everyone just use HONDA MANUAL TRANNY fluid???

we all drive Hondas, and they all came from the factory with it.

 

We have it at my work in St. Catharines... The FM and the regular... PM me if you would like me to send you some...

I need you to send me some (PM me so that we can arrange it). I thought that I had found it in Toronto, but the dealership had something else. They are giving me two part numbers as replacement for the friction modified stuff, they say that they no longer make it.

The new part number is 10953509 or 89021802 for the regular stuff. Any one ever heard these numbers before?

FRICTION MODIFIED one or just syncromesh.

 

Go w/ Honda MTF!!!!!!

Your syncros will love you for it

 

I just bought the stuff from a GM dealership, they only have the AC delco synchromesh, but the guy at the parts counter says that its the samething.
