Tranny fluid?

[Auladan]

I finally got my JDM motor bolted into my bay, and I'm nearly ready to start filling her up. I don't know what kind of fluid to fill the Transfer Case or Transmission with.

Any help?

If it's a manual, Pennzoil Synchromesh for the transmission and Red Line 75W/90 Gear Oil for the transfer case.

Alright, thanks! I appreciate it. I'm off tomarrow to get, what I hope to be, the last of what I need to get her running, but do you know what I can expect those two fluids to cost (in the ammount that I'll need to fill both the Tranny and Transfer case)?

I'll find out tomarrow when I go, but it would be nice to have an idea beforehand.

I don't know about Reline But the syncro mesh is roughly 10 a bottle you'll probably need 3 bottles for the tranny

just get 3 bottles (3litres) of synchromesh like defiant said, you could you 2.5 in the tranny and just under .5 in the transfer case, 3 bottles total did both my tranny and xcase.

Would you recommend the same fluids for a stock '95 GSX also?

I use BG Syncroshift II in the tranny and Amsoil 75W-90 gear oil in the transfer case. I could definitely feel an improvement from both fluids over whatever generic BS was in there when I got the car.

it really doesnt matter if u use bg syncroshift, syncromesh or redline mtl. so watever u decide to put in will be fine even if ur vehicle is stock. u are just replacing fluids with a better quality oil.

Does anyone know of a good site where i can purchase these fluids for a good price? Autozone only had one quart for the synchromesh and they dont carry Redline gear oil. Thanks.

www.machv.com

www.slowboyracing.com

www.roadraceengineering.com

www.automotosports.com (carry bg syncroshift II for the cheapest price and it can be used for the transer case and rear diff.) it doesnt state that it is bg syncroshift II, but when i recieved mine it was.

check these sites, but i dont think they carry syncromesh.

Sometimes napa has bg products which are very good but expensive. I personnaly think it's worth it though. Don't know about penzoils syncro fluild but I wouldn't put there motor oil in my lawn mower. Ask any experienced mechanic about penzoil and you will see why I refuse to use any of their products.

Then penzoil syncromesh fluid is the same as the BG syncromesh fluid.

Pennzoil and GM are the same. BG is an independant company.

Yeah, I've been hearing Pennzoil stories all my life.

Even back then, and all the more so now, oil is pretty much oil, particularly for street use. Even DSM street use.
