Need quick suggestions before tomorrow on transmission warranty
has anyone heard of running Synergyn gl4 transmission fluid on a 6spd? I ended up picking my car up from the dealership to change the tranny fluid myself before making any further decisions. When I went to go test deive it and show them when my 4th was grinding they just told me they had no idea what it was.

same thing happened to my dads 06 eclipse. for a whole year he took it to them and showed the grind and they said it was normal and even the evos do it. well amonth later the clutch blew because the trans was effed up. so they went halfsies on a new tranny and clutch lol. if uve had it under 30 days u should be covered no problem. at least we do here at a honda dealership (i know) even if its a wearable item such as clutch
no im doing that monday at work. hopefully there wont be a bunch of metal chunks or anything like that. My friend told me that the syncrow pieces will be more of a bronze looking color

i had this exact problem last year when i first got my evo9, it was grinding going into 4th, 5th and reverse so i took it to the dealer and they hit me with the same story they told you "if the tranny was abused and is not the syncros you (me) have to cover all the costs" so after complaining and waiting a 3 days for them to tell me i couldnt speak to the manager i did the next best thing... called mitsu directly and filed a claim, a nice lady from the complaint department called back and handled everything for me, called the dealer and told me they fed her the same story and i told her i would not pay for anything because the dealer sold me the car like that... good thing my girl works in a lawyers office and she was able to give me the "lemon law" policy... so i pretty much had my tranny rebuilt even though they didnt do a good job but at least am still covered under warranty....
where are you in nj. Im having the same problem with a dealer right now.
I went through this with my car when i had first gotten it. They went through the whole we have to confirm that the problem is there, then confirm that the car is stock and has not had anything done prior, then pull and see if its from "abuse" or not which is bs. If they claim abuse pay for the like 5hrs of labor and have them put it back in or have them continue the work and get charged some rediculous price.... Mine was covered under warrenty because the car was stock and never had anything done to it. So overall if your car is stock and hasnt had anything done to it at all you will be fine...
