i think im going with penzoil synchromesh but i was just woundering what you fine people are thinking.

 

i swear i just saw one of these polls done.. hopefully im wrong..

 

neosynthetic is the best hands down.

 

God, i guess nobody knows what to use!

 

I use BG and it made a huge difference. I think the first three options are all the same with the penzoil being the cheapest and the most widely available @ your local autoparts store. From now on I'm gonna use penzoil and change the tranny fluid @ every two oil changes since its so damn cheap.

My $.02, I'm a newbie to the tranny issues.

 

Do a thread search.

Thousand Oaks Mitsubishi only uses BG Syncroshift 1.

I'd tell you stick with what your dealer tells you, but some of them don't know the difference between GL 4 and GL 5 hypoid gear oil.

Your owners manual is a good starting point too.

Call Team Rip or Sheppard Racing (I think it's sheppard) or check with your favorite tuner if you want to be absolututely sure.

 

just do a search and you will see BG Syncroshift is by far the best option to use. I put it in my car at 15K miles and it made a huge difference. for something as picky as the tranny I would not skip out and go cheap when you replace the fluids.

6 ****ing responds, great support EVOM!!!!!!!

Just vote!

 

I used Pennzoil Synchromesh. It was a huge difference. There was a little snick as the synchros engaged before going into gear. That's not there anymore, and it's extremely smooth. Since the Pennzoil is so cheap, and does a great job, I see no reason to use anything else.

 

redline mt 90 for me, might try bg synchroshift next to see if it makes any other difference.

 

neosynthetic ONLY!!! Everything elese is a joke...

 

Why dont you do a search, I sware their is about a thousand of these threads.

 

Persoanlly I would recommend stock fluids unless you want to use something less expensive. Unfortunately, the most obvious choice- stock- isnt listed.

If your using a fluid to correct notchy/grinding shifters...I would recommend fixing the tranny, not the fluid. The stock fluid works and works well...its the metal that isnt working right. Synchromesh, etc can give you better shifting, but at a trade off for better gear lubrication. So a lubricant that is good for synchro engagement might not be good at all for gear wear. Fortunately I havnt heard many complaints on tranny gears failing...so hopefully it works OK.

Anyways, Im voting stock, even though the poll doesnt accept my choice.

Also, FYI- GM and Pennzoil synchromesh are the exact same oils only in different bottles. One choice on the poll would suffice.

 

That stock stuff sucks man in winter time I had to fight with my tranny to get into ANY GEAR!!!! Ended up haveing to ride in 1st for a little 2 warm the fluid up. BG Syncroshift worked well. I could shift even when the engine was off! No grinding at all just smooth shifting.

 

Im loving my redline , No problems at all .
