    GM synchromesh Manual transmission fluid

    Good day to everyone. 91 Accord EX 5spd with about 227k on it. Third and 5th gear are somewhat harder to slide into when upshifting. I recently changed the fluid using Honda MTF, and it seemed to actually make it harder to slide into. I've read that GM synchromesh might help this problem.

    Would it help or is it just a matter of things getting old and me needed to use more muscle?

    Thanks,
    Cris P.

    The Honda fluid should've helped anything that a fluid change could... but Synchromesh could be worth a shot. Get the friction modified type. I had bad grinds in 3rd and 5th before synchromesh (granted, I was running gear oil and didn't know it...) and Syncromesh worked wonders.

      Synchromesh rocks. Slapped a bit in my 1990 LX, and it shifts smooth as butter. =]

          what's the new one look like? i changed mine not long ago but i don't know if it was the new stuff or not

          anyways, i used the honda manual fluid and it definitely helped my third gear grind. it's not gone, but it helped a ton. i'd be willing to bet if you changed your fluid more often than suggested in most repair manuals, it would reduce the grinding significantly.

              Question on syncromesh.

              Its kinda expensive... do you put 1 bottle in, or 3 like a tranny fluid and refill job would b.

                  Any GM dealer.


                  The transmission will take just under 2 bottles.

                              Honda or not, that sales person is an idiot if he doesn't recognize a sale when it is in his face.
