sohcVTEC-E Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 What viscosity and how much Manual trans fluid should I use in my Y5 trans? I need to put some really high grade stuff in (I'm thinking AMS Oil or something along that line) because my synchros seems like they're starting to go.

sohcVTEC-E Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 How much do I need? EDIT: You mean Synchromax? Thats all I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB98LX Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Purple Synchro-mesh. Isn't syncromesh for GM transfer cases, or are you talking something different, and if it is, why that? Just wondering! You should only need three quarts I think, but it shouldn't need all of it. How do you know if your syncros are going? I haven't had to deal with tranny problems.

sohcVTEC-E Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd really like to know for sure how friggen much I need. Exactly how much if possible. EDIT: It's really hard to get my car into gear. REALLY hard. And sometimes when I downshift it will lurch my car forward and grind. That happens even when I'm shifting carefully and not aggressively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I went to murrays today and the guy said to use Amsoil ATF. This sounds wrong to me... What do you all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB98LX Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I already told you what I would do. I still want to know why? I'm not trying to be an @ss! I've never heard of that. so I'm just trying to get info on why you'd use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Because that is what I used. It is awesome stuff. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohcVTEC-E Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 SolLes you didn't say GM synchromesh. You made something up. And don't say no one listens to you. I listened to you about turbos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohcVTEC-E Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks Daniel. I thought you meant royal purple synchromax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB98LX Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks for the back up man. Nobody ever listens to me. Fawkers. Dude, I listened to you! I just was curious about the reasoning behind it. If a knowledgable person told you to put GM parts in your Honda, wouldn't you ask why, so you knew the reasoning behind it, rather than because that's what I did! I'm not doubting you, I was trying to learn something new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohcVTEC-E Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Its true, the trans does take motor oil but I was wondering what people on here use. My synchros are bad. I miss second about 70 percent of the time because its such a biotch to get in gear. Hopefully this synchromesh stuff with recondition them. BTW- SSR, two quarts ran me 22.87!!! How often do you guys change your gear oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Not often. 22 dollars isn't expensive. Quit your bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
