I picked up two quarts of pennzoil synchromesh since it was recommended on the peach forum. Is that a good oil to put in the transmission?

Factory states to use ATF in the manual boxes, so I'd use that.

I can be wrong, don't take everything I say as verbatim, please fact-check first.

I wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not since ATF is very very light. I read a lot on the forums and it's a mixed response jet like oil types. Sad.

I think it depends on the year of the transmission the older ones I have seen early 1960-70's used 30 weight & later one's used ATF and but I have no idea when it comes to the later all aluminum boxes like yours?

I know someone on here tried with ATF and regular oil, can't remember who though.

The transmissions were swapped today.

[Image: 223731_10150251640061534_589171533_78580...4788_n.jpg]

the old transmissions had ATF in it. The new(still old) transmission had gear oil in it. I drained the oil and put in the synchromesh. It shifts soooo nice.

ATF and 10W30 maybe used. Did you have an experience with the new trans prior to the penzoil? I have Royal Purple in my 4 spd. MTL in my 5spd but I am not over impressed with it.
