SiDesi SiDesi Newbie Registered: 06/10/04 Posts: 15 Loc: Massachusetts	I am going to be doing my clutch next weekend and was wondering what everyone is running for Tranny Fluid and how much I'm going to need?

By far, the smoothest shifts and confidence in every gear!!! My recommendation will forever be Redline... plus it sounds cool to say... Carlos- "... I have Redline oil!..." Christina Whoreulera- "... oooh! I wanna make hump to you!!!" ... see... it really works! _________________________ JDM (jaY-dEE-eM) v. 1. To copy the trend of the originating country. 2.

Christina Whoreulera- "... oooh! I wanna make hump to you!!!" ... see... it really works! Redline MTF rules?????? Far from it!! King put that in my transmission once before and it sucked balls. The shifting sucked so much that I changed it out in less then a month because I hated it so much. I Switched to BG at that time and there was a night and day difference over the Redline crap. I have also talked to many other people that hate Redline MTF and say BG is 100% better. So I’m not the only one out there that thinks this. If you are using Redline MTF I HIGHLY suggest you switch to BG. If you try it, I know for a fact you will never use Redline MTF again!!! _________________________ --------------------------------- F1 www.donandmikewebsite.com

blustreek99 blustreek99 Poster Registered: 05/02/04 Posts: 304 Loc: Boise, Idaho	Well...my experience with it is fantastic... Maybe I have some kind of hybrid transmission that shifts better with Redline... maybe your BG stuff is great... but for now, I'm good with Redline... and Christina is on my balls right now humming to "What a Girl Wants". I won't be swapping it out when it works fine! Imight give your stuff a try when I need to replace the oil... but for now, P.S. A woman like Christina Whoreulera wouldn't be humming on my balls for all the money in the world, I know this... yet I still have the ability to pretend, just like Mr. BG swearing his sh!t rules!!! A month ago, when I did a search, mostly GM Synchro and Redline were mentioned, including OEM... so I went with what was available here in Boise... Limited Resources, bro!!! The only reason I say these things is because I can... and I kinda feel like bein an a$$hole! Just for fun, though!!! Use what YOU think is good, I recommend Redline. Then again, I'm just some shmuck who works on diesels all day, and couldn't troubleshoot a burned coil without CSi... so... yeah!!! _________________________ JDM (jaY-dEE-eM) v. 1.

Now i run GM syncromesh Friction Modified in my ITR trans, and at 9500 RPM, it is still smooth as butter. -Peter _________________________ 2k ebp em1 12:1 b18cR with lumpy equipment 214.1 HP @ 8800 13 second all-motor em1 team member powered by 075

I have noticed that with honda mtf, shifting would get worse as the going got hotter. With GM synchromesh, you can drive the tranny super hard and it always retains the same shifting characteristics.

JDM Civic JDM Civic Post Master Sr Registered: 05/08/02 Posts: 9180 Loc: Mississauga	You guys are super lubricant weiner whores... Put in the tranny, whatever you want. Can't go wrong with MTF, and if you ever have a warranty issue, they can't bust your berries for using otherwise. To me, spending large amounts of money on fluids is stupid. I use regular dyno oil, and regular trans fluid, never had an issue. On the other hand I've never had a car with more than 160hp, that I drove hard. Bored at work, yeah thats right... Time to go overflow the coffee maker again and get the whole office pissed off. To this day, they still don't know who is doing it.. GOD I ned a life _________________________ Irish Intelligence

tommySI tommySI Member Registered: 04/18/02 Posts: 910 Loc: Chicago, Illinois	another vote for GM synchroshift... My buddy just put some of that redline stuff in his tranny, it shifts worse than it used to. We're gonna try GM soon, will let you know the difference. _________________________ '00 money pit Civic Si.

Alot of guys have luck w/ caddie dealerships, but it took me about three dealerships to track it down. Everyone sells the synchromesh, but the Friction Modified is a little bit harder to come by

DevoStevo DevoStevo CSI Cars 4 Sale Dealer Post Master Sr Registered: 10/02/06 Posts: 6340 Loc: usa	I know this is an old thread, but it has some good info in it. I came across it searching for the best fluid to replace in a 5 spd Civic. When I went to the local GM dealer, I asked for the friction modified synchromesh and they pulled the BG Synchro Shift off the shelf and said this is what they sell now. It even was labeled as the replacement for the synchromesh, on back of it, with the oem part number listed, for GM and Mercedes, along with a few others. _________________________ “ All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.”
