I got the BG SynchroShift II from Buschur, my buddy and I changed out my fluid the other night, and it felt awesome afterwards!

 

Changing this weekend, using Amsoil MTG because that's the only GL-4 I found locally.

 

pennzoil synchromesh

 

pretty soon im going to drain n fill mine w/ the random bulk valvoline we use at work..ill see if theres any diffrent feel...(its free!..lol)

if it doesnt feel right, then ill go buy some stuff and put that in instead..lol
and at work we just got BG products in so maybe ill talk to the guy and get some BG fluid..

 

Hey guys using the pennzoil syncromesh, how do you tell what weight it is? It says nothing on the bottle or anything. Or is it all the same?

 

read all the fineprint..it should say the weight somewhere...if it doesnt say well i dunno what it is..
i have mobil 1 70w-90 (if i remember correctly....i dont remember rt now..) in my tranny rt now but like i said a few posts up...soon ill be doing a drain n fill w/ the random valvoline bulk gear oil(80w90) we get at work and if it dont feel right then ill swap it out w/ some good stuff..(some i KNOW is good..BG)

 

I believe im going to try RP this time around.

 

Well please leave feedback because Im very satisfied with Pennzoil Syncromesh and its price. Most of the stores here that have in stock the proper tranny fluid for the RA have either Pennzoil Syncromesh or RP. Thing is that Pennzoil Syncromesh is $8 and RP is $18 the bottle for each.

 

Kinda dont have anything to compare to. Im throwing it in a salvaged tranny. Ill post how it shifts compared to my old one though.

 

On a auto trany is the fluid hasn't been changed in time should I just change it, change like half at a time or leave it? I am asking this because I hear so many stories about this and I don't know what to do. I bought the car used and I don't know if the previous owner changed it in time so I'm assuming the worst. I got 114000 miles.

 

Anybody?

 

If you dont know what the previous owner had done then expect the worst. change EVERYTHING

 

wish you'd told me that about a month and a half ago

 

I always did that with any vehicle i bough. Im a stickler when it comes to fluids. I buy top notch stuff ALL the time.

 

I did change everything when I bought the car except the trany fluid and the brake fluid.

After a lot of research online I decided to change 3 quarts every 1000 miles with Amsoil fluid for the next 3000-4000 miles. One weird thing is that my trans fluid is clear instead of red but it doesn't smell burned.
