Better then the Honda MTF. I've used it for years in my b16 transmission and love it. Smoothed out the transmission allot. That being said I will be trying the Amsoil in my new FG2 when its time.

must not be that good then????

Gm synchromesh friction modified is better than the honda stuff. Never tried amsoil so can't compare the two.

08civicman · 05-15-2008, 11:51 PM

Im trying to find out what the BEST fluid for this transmission is.

The GM syncromesh is sold at my local checker auto, so pep boys might have it.

SYNCHROMESH - is sold by Amsoil, GM, and Penzoil.

I can't speak for the Si. But the mkiv generation VW's (golf,jetta, Audi tt) all worked great with SYNCHROMESH

I have an R18 with M/T,the second gear was a little stiff going in until I changed the fluid to Amsoil and now all gears go in smoothly,my point is both products you mentioned are great but you won't regret using Amsoil.
