Re: Honda MTF vs. GM Syncromesh (wreckedmyteg)
I got GM Synchromesh friction modified for about $5/qt thru my friend at a dealer. 
If you want it for alot cheaper than dealer price, use the Pennzoil Synchromesh sold at AutoZone and other auto parts stores. It runs about $4/qt I think.

yup...what Muckman said.
it's a whole lot cheaper if you buy Pennzoil Syncromesh which is what GM Syncromesh is without the GM badge. i got like 12 quarts of this stuff for like $3.75 each at autozone.

Re: Honda MTF vs. GM Syncromesh (shermanyang)
I went to an acura dealer the other day, and the service/parts guy just condescendingly said, "stop banging on your gears". I told him, "you didn't answer my question". He replied, "no we don't have anything like that".
Then i went looking for the pennzoil syncromesh, but no luck there either.....went to pep boys, auto zone, R&S Strauss
anyone know a place in ny I can get this stuff.........I'm going to try a gm dealer tomorrow.

I use honda mtf...had used redline in the past. I actually didn't like it all. Grinds went away when changing back to mtf. I refuse to use GM's.

Is that because it's a heavier weight, and it makes things seem like they are ok for a little while?

No, it's just much better stuff.
I shied away from the GM synchromesh for years, then I tried it, now it's going in all my Hondas
Stuff is great.

Is the pennziol synchromesh the same as the GM synchromesh?? Im always seeing it compared between the two.

Works great, my friend took my old Y LSD cable tranny that grinded bad in 3rd, added the Syncromesh and no more grinds.
