Default maybe a stupid question... but here goes

Alright i was reading up about the gm syncro mesh tranny fluid and how it is too big to fit into the smaller parts of a honda trans, therefore wearing the tranny down.

My question is.... can you put say 2 quarts of GM syncromesh and some regular transmission fluid?

I realize that they would seperate when the tranmission is off, but when its on wouldnt that blend together, thefore filling evey inch of the transmission with fluid?

Again stupid question, but hey i dont know so why not ask

be gentle to me

Yeah im gonna call Bullshit on this one.
1. Our cars were ment to have 10w30 in them. So anything else IMO cant hurt.
2. Theres alot of people that swear by deferrent things.
3. Rumors Get Started And people belive want to.

this topic Is touchie At best. Im Using it and I have had no problems.

it is too big to fit into the smaller parts of the transmission? wears it down? i dont think so, i have had it in for a grip and this is my 3rd tranny, none of the others were run on syncromesh. this one is by far better feeling, shifting, sounding, etc. then the previous two. syncromesh gets a big from me
