Just dumped my tranny fluid for synchromesh, it took 2 and 3/4 bottles till it started floeing out of filler hole, my only question is does it make a difference if the car was jacked up in the front when filling, does this effect amount of fluid you can pour in?

 

The manual calls for 2.3 liters - jacking the front up would have tilted it back a bit, as long as you have at least 2 and a little in there, its fine.

But as MKC said the difference is so minimal that it is irrevelant. Happy Tuning!!!

 

2.2 or 2.3 qts...one or the other

 

You should be fine. Why not stick with Honda MTF?

Because gm syncromesh fm is supposively better.

 

Let's not turn this into yet another damned GM Synchromesh fluid topic thanks.

2.3 is the correct answer though...

 

While were on the subject, how much goes into a GSR tranny?

All B-series take 2.3qts.

 

Good to know, thanks

 

what kind of fluid is recommended to put in there

 

Honda MTF, Penzoil Syncromesh for MT, or GM syncromesh for MT

I recommend any of those.

 

hey so do i fill the tranny with fluid till it flows out of the fill hole? reason i ask is because i was swaping my tranny to another motor and fluid came out the axle port and i dont know how much spilled

 

Yes, until it starts to drip out of the FILL hole, with the car on level ground.

 

if fluid came out of the axle port, it sounds like a bad axle seal. working in independent import repair shop, we always fill a trans until it starts to flow out of the filler plug and call it good.

 

Yes. You should have just drained the transmission before removing it. Once the trans and axles are installed in the car, make sure it is level and fill the trans using a long funnel or a syringe pump until the fluid flows back out of the fill hole. It should take around 2.3 quarts, but that's just a guideline - if it isn't spilling back out, keep filling.

Use Honda MTF, 10W-30 engine oil, or a compatible lightweight synchromesh transmission lubricant such as Amsoil Synthetic Synchromesh MTF 5W-30 or GM Synchromesh. Do not use standard gear oil containing sulfur or boron (75W-80, 80W-90, etc.) because you will cause damage to the transmission.

He was swapping the transmission. The axle was out; there's nothing to seal against.
