Tranny fluid - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**1ply** · 12-10-2007, 01:38 PM

I think I'm due for a change of fluid in the tranny. I'm told that GM Synchromesh is the way to go. Has anyone here had experience with this stuff.

Car is a 99 protege 5speed.

Synchromesh is good stuff.

Redline fluid has been good to me. I like it (no, not for its taste).

curious. Is GM Syncro a synthetic blend or full synthetic?
and which kind do you guys use? (some aren't good with bronze syncros?)

Synchromesh is fine with brass synchro's.

I run Mopar MS9417. It's their NVT 350 transmission fluid, but it's just synchromesh in a Mopar bottle, right down to the price.

How much is this stuff? Guess I'll find out soon enough since by Friday I need to pick some up.

**fixitmattman** · 12-11-2007, 02:35 PM

It was $13 and change at both GM and Chrysler.
