Today I am dropping my y8 motor in, but I am un-sure about what to use as far as transmission fluid . . . . anyone have any good advice or anything that could help me in deciding what to get?

I would like to finish the install today and fire the car up, so hope to get some responces soon

Thanks

 

what year and how many miles? if a lot then i would get the gm synchro mesh with friction modifier.

 

honda mtf works well for me. i've also used regular 10w30 too. works good

 

you r supposed to use 10-30 they make a lttle tube with an attachment for it with a little pump for the top of oil quarts.

actually you are supposed to use HG MTF. but 10w30 will work in a pinch. takes about 2.5-2.8 quarts. i always fill from the speed sensor, overfill with three then pop out the fill plug and let the excess run out.

 

a friend of mine also adds like a 1/4 quart of lucas stabilzer. he likes to run it didnt smoke a tranny yet. just remember the word "YET"

 

thanks guys . . . I think i'm gona run 10w 30 just for now then switch it up

What's the deal with filling it from the speed sensor? I only heard rumors, but how is this done?

 

Well, you're probably done with it by now, but if you're going to drain it again look into getting some GM synchro mesh fluid. Worked wonders for my Lude.
