Good luck with the dealer--they'll see the excessive wear on the tranny and know that something was up with the fluid.

For future reference, the recommended tranny fluids for manual tranny 3Gs are:

Redline MT-90
BG Syncroshift
BG Syncroshift II (all-synthetic, not any better than regular BG Syncroshift though)

I think JR's got a thread about the "Scot Gray" mix too, if'n anyone wants to try it out, but any of those fluids by themselves are fine.

 

I use 1 part Redline MTL mixed with 2 parts Redline MT-90. Much smoother shifts especially in the mornings and no 2nd gear grind yet (6months). I recommend against using MTL alone since it too thin to protect the tranny.

I thought GM synchromesh was good stuff? :dunno:

 

I have Redline MT-90 and I love it.

 

I use the "Scott Gray" mix Redline MT-90 & BG Synchrosift. I ordered it from RRE.

 

What happened while using GM Synchro mesh? It ruin your tranny?

edit: duh, I just read the 10 other posts regarding your tranny. I wouldn't fuck with royal purple tranny fluid with a manual. Stickwith whats known and good, BG Synchro, Redline, GM Synchromesh.

No, you do not. You use the "Scot Gray" mix, as I said in my first friggin' response. :fawk:

 

man sorry to hear any problems with ur tranny, but i've experienced both fluids in my 3g GT and i gotta tell you that the B+G felt great at first compared to the stock fluid but then i switched to Synchromesh and "damn" what a difference i felt it less notchy and a lot smoother and easier to change gears on cold starts. ive had the B_M short throw shifter and now ive got 90,000 miles and cross my fingers havent had any problems with my tranny.

I run GM Synchromesh and I have had no problems. Knock on wood.

 

How many quarts is recommended?

 

Negged and I hate you

 

:facepalm: Good for searching, bad for reviving a 7 year old thread!

 

I soon realized that someone recommended 3 haha Whats wrong with reviving stuff?

 

There isn't anything wrong with reviving an old thread. It's just you could have looked at a user manual for the car to find out how many quarts you needed. There is also an online manual in this car forum as well.
