i change my trany oil yesterday and for some reason every time i go 4000rpm or higher my 3rd and 5th gear grinds? I put 2 1/2 oil in it ... can someone help me....

 

Did you add fluid to the filler hole until it started to run back out?

 

yea i did but alot spilled cuz i had a hard time putting the plug back in it was on a wierd angle but i put some more in .... can it be because the fluid wasnt tick enough should i add some lucas or something...

How does it spill out? If it spills out at all it means there's too much.

And don't add Lucas!

 

it just spilled out like normal like it means that its full.... but can it be that i use the the wrong oil or someting cuz i use royal purpule snycromas (i think i spelled that wrong)

 

was the car level when you filled it? I saw that you said it was on a weird angle. Car needs to be level to achieve the right amount

 

the car was level and i add somemore fluid today just to make sure i put enough but it still grinds i dont really knowwats going on the only thing i can think off is that the fluid is to not tick enough for my tranny....and the trany is a b16 if the matters at all....

Yeah but the grinding started after the fluid change. Like he messed something up.

 

Can you use synchromesh in a honda transmission? I always use the honda manual transmission fluid and with working in an oil change shop I was under the impression that synchromesh was for gm transfer cases and some gm manual transmissions. I would try out the honda manual transmission fluid and see if it helps
