Well I put valvaline maxlife atf and BOY DID THAT THING WHINE! First through third it sounded like a super charger. It was really noisy at idle, but shifted nicely. I swapped out the fluid for lucas 80w90. That was the fluid the previous owner used. Lucas made all the gears quiet, and got rid...

Do you guys think I should do a fill with ATF and drive and break in the clutch then put RP synchromesh?

Originally Posted By: JasonC Royal Purple Syncromax I heard alot of people liking this. I wonder, the old owner with this trnamission filled it with gear lube and had no issues. I am thinking of possibly filling it with ATF maxlife (which I heard people had sucess with) and then running it...

how about amsoil syncromesh? anything wrong with that in a honda??

Hi. Its been so long since I been to this site, I was here when there was very very few memebers and now its all HUGE! Well I have a 1986 nissan 300zx non turbo. Im putting in a Turbo transmission from a 1985 300zx that is the borg warner t5 non-world-class transmission. There is alot of...

spark plugs are new, havent looked at it since the job was done. It doesnt misfire on startup, it did BEFORE the job. It starts normally aside from the smoke. So instead of a leak down test just shoot air into the cylinder?

Originally Posted By: firefighter Hi just a little more info please. Why would no compression from a missfire, cause the head to have to be redone? What led up to the repairs.

the smoke kinda lingers for a bit enough to go through a garage with haze. maybe about 5 seconds dissipation or longer. Engine runs fine. ...perhaps a leak down test

Not sure if this is the right section for this. My friends car, 2000 acura integra gsr recently got some work done. it was misfiring alot and had no compression on 2 cylinders. He got a shop to do the head and send the head out for work and every seal was replace (thats what they said). Now on...

ok guys Its been a while since I did my flush. It still seems to shift hard (slightly) from first to second. Is there any other fluid you guys recommend? before I started auto-rx it shifted a bit better and was a little smoother. With auto rx it made it shift funny, and with this new fluid it...

Hi, I have a 86z with the 71c transmission. I recently put amsoil GL4 (specifies) and Its nice. However It is still slightly notchy and im wondering if I put amsoil syncromesh if it will be ok? The reason I ask is that i done research and if, for example, i put gl5...the transmission syncros...

I think there is goods and bads with all pads. I think the trade-off is more brake dust better stoppin, but possibly more wear, where no brake dust (or very little) doesnt have the best stop power, but lasts the longest. IMO I use ceramic in all my cars, duralast golds because of the lifetime...
