I need some manual transmission fluid before i run my new swap, i bought the new oil,clutch fluid and hoses now all i need is MTF any suggestions?

 

You can buy it from the dealer... http://www.inlinefour.com sells Honda MTF

 

The Honda Dealer always got em. 3-4 bucks a quart; you'll need a little over 2 quarts so buy 3 bottles.

 

use Honda MTF Plus.

i used to use castrol stuff, but jsut recently put Honda MTF Plus in and it is soooo much smoother than before!



t..

 

i used the 80/90 gear oil...they said its the same

 

yes, they say it is the same.

but it is not.

i think Honda use some sort of secret...

I too believe Honda's formula is diifrent.
I used Mobil 1 80w90 and it was good till it got hot.
Honda MTF tho is just as good as when i replaced it 15k ago.
I'd stick with it, plus for 12$ its not a bad deal for 3 quarts.

 

As every prior post to mine, go to the dealer. I've used only Honda MTF in my tranny. It shifts very nicely. For lack of a better phrase...."Like butta!"

mario-

 

you guys are using gear oil in your trannys? honda recommends 10w30 if you cant get honda MTF

i always use honda MTF

 

haha
ever looked at/smelled honda MTF compared to oil?
its not the same.
for starters honda mtf is RED.

whoever told you its the same is very wrong.

its very diffrent and MUCH better for the transmission.

 

Honda/Acura dealer or supply source. Honda MTL is the only thing I would ever use in my car. Last time I bought MTL it was around $3-4 dollars a quart, but I bought it by the case for some discount.

yeah and the honda mtf stuff smells like mineral oil, not regular motor oil.

buy the Honda stuff
