I have a GSR with a b16 tranny with a quaife LSD and it seems its becoming increasingly harder and harder to get into gear. I have a ITR shifer and a act street strip clutch.

I change out the tranny fluid every oil change with OEM honda MTF because that is what i believed was the correct fuild to use. Now that this problem has started occuring I just wanted to double check that it is the correct fuild to use.

Second, could i possibly use some GM syncromesh/MTF mix to help smoothen up the shifting? Ive used it in the past with no problems i just wanted to make sure it wouldnt damage the LSD before i go dumping it in there....

TIA!

 

I've used nothing but Honda MTF in my Quaife YS1 for over 4 years with no problems.

I've never had to use it, but GM syncromesh will work with a quaife tranny. It's the clutch/plate style LSD's that require diffrent fluid.

 

if you get gm syncromesh, make sure it's the FRICTION MODIFIED version..costs a little more, but that's the one you want.

 

ok thanks guys!!

 

no. you don't want friction modified, it will f up your synchro

friction modified fluid is supposed to promote smoother shifting. Please explain your statement.
