Default Transmission Fluid

I did read up in the UNder The Engine forum section, but I still am not sure what to run here in Cali. Seems like a toss up between GM syncromesh fortified, MT-90 and the honda oem stuff. My question is, which will give me the smoothest shifting for the longest, cause I've got notchiness at 6000 miles on the stock fluid (is that normal?) Thanks for any help guys =)

Best bet is to try them yourself.

Get the one that's easiest to acquire and go from there. Out of the ones you listed I'd say that redline first then the GM stuff only because I don't know where to get the GM stuff.

Any one of those fluids will be safe to try.




BTW my ankles still has a golf ball in it

=( on the golf ball. My neck and shoulders are still SO stiff, I can barely look down after napping. It doesn't help I go to work and use those muscles a lot =)

Yea same here.

I still have to climb up ladders with it.


Still fun though.

But I'm definitely feeling the age thing.


Vu uses redline and his tranny feels smooth

Man Kragen blows bubble, they carried Zylch. Guess I'll get my fluid online, unless you know somewhere near by vu.

Found gm stuff for 13 bucks a quart. That a good price? Also found some pennzoil stuff but It comes in a box of 12. Anyone want to buy some off me locally if I get the jumbo pack?
