I don't mean to sound arguementative, but the only true brass syncros in the T350 are for 1st and second. 3, 4, and 5, are all paper-backed syncronizers.
Originally posted by jcracer19 The paper you are talking about is a synchro sleeve between the synchro gears which kind of acts like a mini clutch disc and helps in syncing up the synchro to the gear on initial gear selection then the synchro enters the gear for engagement.
All you are describing is syncro operation. The fact remains that for a paper-backed syncro to effectively grip the gear cone it has to be used with special lubricants, otherwise, it'll just slip and you'll do nothing but try to mesh dog teeth moving at different speeds - the gear will not syncronize.
For what its worth, I will continue to use factory fluid in my transaxle because i have known too many people to ruin these gearboxes trying to cheap out and run $5 75w90 in it. I'd rather pay more and KNOW what i am getting is the right stuff.
