    I know it's okay for honda tranny can you put it in a Vw tranny and it will be fine?

    use Ams Oil synchromesh...There are tons of threads on S2Ki that prove that Ams Oil is better than the GM. The GM stuff is great, but due to its build, it breaks down too fast and if not changed regularly it is not good for the tranny. Both around the same price....I got 10 bottles...lol

    Yea I cant really tell too much of a differance either with it. I guess it just depends on how bad of a grind you have or whatever.

    There is two versions of GM Synchromesh, you want the friction modified version with the part #12377916. If you don't use that one then you may not see any change in results from regular fluid. We used to use the other one (#12345349) in the race cars and in the last couple hours of a 13 hour endurance race we would develop a slight grind in 5th gear, the friction modified version prevented that from that point on.


    Friction Modified




    Not Friction Modified

    Floridaboy, HatchHero, myself, and many others have all used the GM sycromesh friction modified in my B-series tranny,H-series and fixed a serious grind like literaly 4 of the gears were grinding and even the honda manual tranny fluid couldn't do shit....highly reccommended when its your last resort better gambling $20-25 for a fluid that may save you $500-600 to open up the tranny and start replacing shit, use it if it grinds, if your tranny does not grind just leave it alone IMO

    Correction, convert to this fluid the first week you buy your car to PREVENT issues from occurring instead of using it to cover them up.
