110k miles, never changed it.....anyway, Weird noises etc, hoping it isnt an expensive oversight.... gonna change the fluid out, maybe its just low.....I've been seeing OEM is the choice, but what about in older tranny like mine? a synthetic maybe? The syncros seem to be louder than usual. What do you all think(and where to purchase for how much)?

To defend myself, all the work ive done, i'm kicking myself for not thinking of this. I was always under the impression if the clutch fluid was fine, you were good to go. My older cars had grease i thought, and Autos had fluid.....

 

nothing better than OEM, but i heard GM syncromesh is really good.

 

how much for this stuff? where is the cheapest to buy it(without ordering online and waiting)? parts store? dealer?

I bought some cheap stuff, but am gonna return now that i have researched more.

 

i dont know how much the GM stuff is, but the honda MTF from the dealer is, i think 10 or so dollars for a quart. dont quote me though. they arent that expensive

 

Nah not $10.00 i think i paid $5.00 a quart

 

i paid 15 dollars at my acura dealership for 4quarts

 

i need to buy 3 right? (just over 2qt for us)

 

I really hope this helps. I dont have the time to replace the tranny right now, nor do i have the cash to do the clutch / flywheel at the same time. I hate doing the same thing 2x tho

 

wow my memory sucks, i bought that stuff for my civic back in the day. reefer > meh

 

Honda MTF.

I used a 1:1 mixture of MTF and Pennzoil Synchromesh out of curiosity...didn't notice a difference. My transmission shifts fine before & after the change. I'm going back to 100% MTF next time though.
