Dijinnie Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have an 01 ex, bone stock right now. I bought the car at 168k miles, its a pretty seasoned car, and I think i fracked up a synchronizer, every time i shift from 2nd to 3rd it sounds like when you grind the gears. If i take it easy and ease it into gear it doesn't do it. I dont know when the last time the tranny was flushed and i was wondering what viscosity oil to use. I've heard to use amsoil synchromesh or some crap like that but then the dude at autozone said just to use 10w-40 motor oil. Im thinkin i need some better crap because of my 2nd to 3rd problem but im not sure, any advice is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 i've heard that penzoil/gm synchromesh and redline mtf are what people have had the best luck with postponing trasmission work. but if you are starting to grind as bad as it sounds, then i think you are at the point when you need to start replacing stuff.

Pballer2005 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 in that case gm/penzoil synchromesh (autozone) or redline mtf (online) might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
