You wont regret it.
Did you add any friction modifier?
No I did not...some people use it I hear, mainly in the rear diff, but I'm good to go with the Synchromesh
i'm looking to do a tune up.. i'm going to try some of this stuff out. thanks for the info.
I have looked at every Advance Auto and can't find it anywhere around me. I was hoping to do this today.
Found it at AutoZone. Had to go to two different stores since each only had two a piece.
Anyone have a how-to on the oil change? I was thinking of filling it from
the top with the shifter off?
the top with the shifter off?
i bought 3 from advanced and had to run to oreilleys for the 4th ... it wasnt on the shelf tho because they didnt have enough room for it .. they kept this product in the back
I had to call around as well...
I just changed mine today. Drove around the block a couple times and I think the synchromesh feels alittle better but not the world of difference that some guys are saying it made in their cars. Then again I thought my car shifted pretty smooth to begin with. I just changed it because I was bored this afternoon:shrug:
Is this what you guys are talking about:
Synchromesh Manual Transmission Fluid (32 oz.) by Pennzoil - Part 3501 - Advance Auto Parts
Reason I ask is this stuff looks like rear end gear oil.

I pretty sure that's how the bottle looked. I thought the same thing..
yep, that's the stuff.;-)
Let me ask you guys, Have you had any adverse affects from switching to the Syncromesh fluid compared to the ATF ? I called and talked to Ford and they recommend using the ATF fluid only. I called Tremec and talked to them and they DO NOT recommend using anything but Mobil1 synthetic ATF fluid, I mentioned that a lot of Cobra owners are switching to the Pennzoil syncromesh and he stated it would void any warranty on the transmission. I am planning on doing a full clutch swap (PP, clutch, flywheel, fork, cable, ect ect ect) and figure i would swap the fluid. I already ordered a case of the Pennzoil synromesh, I just dont want to damage the transmission by using the wrong fluid.
No issues here over the last few months. Never had a warranty with my car so I just go by my own research. There are many people running synchromesh and I"m glad I changed to this...Subscribing for more details
Same here with no warranty on the car just dont want to mess anything up. I guess I will give it a try, like I said in my last post I have a case on the way to my house now.... Do I need to use any type of friction modifier or just the syncromesh ?
I use just Synchromesh. Interesting though. I do recall many people using synchromesh in other T-56s that are in the corvettes and vipers?:shrug:
Looking for more input on this matter for your sake...
What I find odd/interesting is that isnt it the basically the same transmission in the vette/viper/cobra? So why the call for different fluid? or is it just different manufacture recommendations? But why would Tremec say to use ATF only?
