I've tryed alot of Combo's in there but i like the Redline stuff i still have yet to try the Amsoil yet thet will be next to see how that works. And by the way this is in a 5speed Tranny.

I recently put in some penzoil syncromesh and i can't say i've noticed my tranny feeling any better (currently 3-4 have tension moving them in and out of gear) and i heard the syncromesh might help. nope.

Just put in the Mopar stuff yeaterday, man my transmission is like BUTTER. I love it. No notchy shifting, it's all buttery smooth. Amazing considering I just put it in. Well, that is my opinion of the MOPAR stuff. I recommend any MR owner give it a try, plus it's fully synthetic.

It's still working well. Whatever you put in the MR, it should be a GL-4 75W-85 EXACT equivalent. THe reason I went with MOPAR is that RRE put Synchroshift in my car when I had the new clutch put in. I wanted to try something different than the stock SuperDiaqueen.

Syncroshift in trans, Diaqueen in xfer case and rear diff. No problem so far! Not a single grind!

i put syncroshift 1 in my mr evo 9 when i put an exedy twin disc in, and it got really stiff putting in gear and grinds reverse now..only when im sitting still? i think it might have sumthing to do with the fluid..but im gonna put the shorter clutch rod extender in and see what happens but i also wanna change the fluid..theres no weight on the bg stuff? i think its way to thick...i want fully synthetic!! anyone else with this problem????
