A friend who used to have an Integra told me that a lot of Honda guys use GM Manual Transmission fluid w/Limited Friction to reduce grinding. I am experiencing some grinding in my Prelude that has 150k+ miles. I just bought the car and I don't have any service history for it but I want to change the tranny fluid... feedback on GM Man. Trans Fluid in a Honda?

 

Its works numbers on my transmission. When I first got my type S, it would pop out of 3rd gear while driving every single day. After doing a Gm syncromesh swap it hasn't popped out of gear in 6 months on the same fluid.

 

Yes GM Synchromesh is great stuff..

But Personally ive used it, And i Like BG Synchroshift II Wayyyyy better

 

Most people run a combo of gm mtf https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=549469&page=1

The fluid you want is GM Synchromesh Friction Modified:

To my knowledge, the Pennzoil version is not available in Friction Modified formulation.

 

whats the difference w/ regular and friction modifiy?
