What is the best fluid for a Honda manual tranny? I know that for ATF it's Honda's Z1, but what about manual. This is for my friend's SI.

 

Honda MTF. No idea about this company but here's a link

I may change to GM Synchromesh with friction additives...That's been recommended to relieve the shift issues in the 6mt.

 

cool .... thanks guys ...... I think he's going to use the Honda fluid ...... he planned to already, but I figured that I'd ask in case there was a better fluid. Smag ..... he's got the 5 speed with no "notchy" problems.

 

The dealer did an overhaul on mine...replaced several items (3rd gear mainshart, 3-4 shift fork, 3rd gear set), and the issue prevailed.

I reported that back to them, and I could tell he didnt know what to do next. I am going to ride with a tech the next time I am there.

 

That sucks!!! I guess you have to do what teachers do and just accept that you need an Odyssey. LOL I can see it now ..... Harvey Birdman rolling up in a mini-van!!!!

 

i guess you're the one to ask...

how would I mount the leather sling in back?

 

ya lost me on that one ...... is this to tow your new HUGE teabag?

 

Honda has a "new & improved" manual tranny lube but I don't have the part number handy. I use Red Line and find it far superior to the Honda fluid. I will be switching to the GM stuff on the next change but that's a way off yet.

 

you dissappoint me....
