Re: Has anyone had experience (Zero00)
Hi Zero00 -
I have not heard of anyone using that in the mm6 - the mm6 calls or 4.1 quarts of Dexron III.
I did find this site that lists the Synchromesh fluid and recommends it for use in a tremec TR-3550 5 speed. http://www.5speedtransmissions.com/gm_syncromesh.html
Since I am going to be changing my trans and dif fluids very soon...
:lurk:

Hello---
Please check with your mechanic. The Corvette only mechanic swears by the stuff. He said my tranny will run smoother, cooler, & quieter. Best of all, he will do it under warranty. He said that the tranny can run either the ATF or the Synchromesh. I did some checking too & found the same site, as well as other sites. I found that Pennzoil developed the product for GM; Texaco also made the same stuff. Castrol makes something similar but is not for GM transmissions. Thanks.

Hi Zero00 -
I am my own mechanic (as much as possible...). I have used Amzoil in diffs and trannys - I agree that these will lower operating temps.
Pennzoil? :eek: :leaving:
I will watch this thread...

Re: Has anyone had experience (mqqn)
MY 95 6 spd Vert had a leak somewhere around 1998 and the Dealer put in Synchromesh. Until I sold it (45k miles later) I never had any problem with the tranny. It indeed smoothed out the gear noise. The dealer did this under extended warranty so they were responsible.
I don't know if the C5 trannies can handle this fluid. Hope someone will have an answer. I am inclined to use it in the future.
