Default B&M Trick shift Synthetic ATF

Anyone tried this? I was at PepBoys and wanted to get synthetic ATF, this was $1 cheaper than Mobil 1. I am going to put it in tomorrow. Just wanted to know if anyone had any problems with it.
Thanks

Dont do it. Honda auto trannies are already sensitive enough, I think you're asking for trouble it you do it There are friction enhancers in trick shift. Its basically old chool ford atf. There are coarse particals in the fluid I dont think the outcome will be good.

Default Re: B&M Trick shift Synthetic ATF (CIVICtypeS)

I bought some of the B&M synthetic when I was redoing my CV boot and then chickened out after reading this thread. The synthetic is different than the conventional, the conventional is type F, but the synthetic meets DexronIII and Mercon, but I don't want to be a guinea pig. Maybe I'll run it at the track, and next day change to normal. It's easy and cheap enough.
