Today I replaced my trans fluid with BGsyncoshift.....Wow what a difference...
Noticed that shifting is a LOT smoother and more effortless.

I think its a must for any EVO owner.

BTW, I have a new EVO RS 05 with 5,000 miles.

Question,

I noticed that there were some metal shavings cought by the magnetic plug....

Is that normal for a new tranny?

Thanks.

 

I totally agree BG synchroshift/Pennzoil Synchromesh is fantastic for our synchros in the 5 speed trannies ...
Yes it it normal to see metal shavings ...

 

I like it too but Im not use to the shifts being so slippery at high rpms.

 

Actually it works well, not good, but yeah, that stuff is awesome

 

BG Sychroshift and Pennzoil Sychromesh have nothing to do with each other. They are two completely different products.

 

I personally will never run BG Synchoshift in my EVO as I have exploded 2 DSM trannys with only around 400whp. I attribute it to the thinness of the fluid. I am since making 200 more hp and running $1.79/qt valvoline in the dSM and have had no issues. I do run Pennzoil Synchromesh in the EVO and have had no issues with it using it on road racing track events (Mid Ohio).
