I have a b18c1 with a GSR short ratio tranny. I had redline MTL in it and had horrible problems , alot of synchro grind and it just wasn't what everyone had said it would be.

So i flushed the tranny and picked out all the shitty particals and put in Redline MT-90 and it improved the shifts but i still got umbral problems with 2nd to 3rd if i am going at any decent speed. Now even shiftin into 4th gives me problems. This is not just with me drivin this is with my mechanic and 1 other experienced driver so its not just related to shiftin differences.

So i just want some thoguths on what to put into the tranny? try Redline MTL again? or go to stock honda stuff. The car does go to the track and will get a LSD put in if the tranny is good. The engine is also being turbo so i wanna kinda fix this tranny problem before i do anything else.

 

If the synchors are gone, no fluid will help. The only fluid I have had success with curing minor grinds is GM/Pennzoil Synchromesh. Any GM dealer will carry it, and you may be able to find the Pennzoil fluid at a local auto parts store.

 

alright well that is an option. Im going to look at that as well as Redline again but ithink Gm synchromesh is worth a shot.


Should i tranny flush everytime ichange or is it really not worth it?

 

the gm synchromesh works probably best of anything i would give it a try

 

Well i think ill give that a shot, my next question is the Transmission flush or use a magnet or both or what works the best?

I wanna just get this tranny problems solved before i start pumpin money elsewhere into the car that may need money put into the transmission, so this is my main problem right now ,

thx for the help so far

 

gearspeed.com has syncros..almost $200 for a set 1-5 and R...

 

hot damn thx man :D

 

Id replace the syncros there are only 3 of them. Check your helms. Some mauals take auto tranny fluid instead of 90 wt. if you do your syncros use honda mtf thats whats reccomended

 

Yeah iwas kinda curious on the Honda fluid, if you dont use it right away if you should go back or what? but ill see if my synchros really are fugged and if they are then when i pop the LSD in ill fix them . thx for the help
