6111, Fluid Question for transmission. please help!!!!
Posted by Mattcky2k, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
ok i ordered some BG syncro shift fluid for my transmission cause everyone i've talked to swears by it but it says it's for front wheel drive manual transmissions on the bottle? has anyone every used this on an AWD car? seems to me like it wouldn't make much difference but i thought i'd ask just in case. also i ordered Redline 75W90 gear oil for the transfer case and all of that. TIA

BG Synchro Shift II?
Works wonders! It is fine for AWD trannies.

Works fine on AWD, I'm trying some Amsoil becasue a couple people that I trust said it worked better for them than BG.

Pennzoil Synchromesh, available at autozone is what most of the guys around here use. Its also much cheaper than BG at around $4/qt. A local guy that bulids dsm trannies wont use anything else.

All of the above seem to have great things going for them. I personally use BG but have heard about alot of people using Synchromesh and AMSoil.

I just went to RRE yesterday and they gave me Redline.
Thats kinda odd since they recommend syncroshift on their website. :shrug

so will 75w90 gear oil be alright for the transfer case? i was told that i should use 80w90 in it. or will it be that big of a difference?

wow ok i'm very UN-impressed with BG...my difficulties getting into 3rd at high speed/rpm from 2nd are still there, adn now the car jumps and whines more in reverse... :shrug

P.S. Hot tip, get a funnel and get some hose or something from NAPA to fit the funnel, run the funnel from on top of the engine (with the hood popped to the tranny, then have a friend pour while you put the hose in the tranny...SOOO much cleaner than "bottle pourers" or attempting to have the funnel under the car...:thumbsup
