thanks guys that pretty much tells me what i wanted to know. it's goin in my ex. i have a s40 in it right now (just stock tranny). i just got the car about a week ago and he gave me the s20 with it because the clutch slipped and third gear was gone. whats the best fluid to run when i did my swap a while back i used honda synthetic fluid but i heard that the gm synchromesh is supposed to be better..? i know hondas are funny about some things.
