do you fill 2.3 quarts syncro mesh or 2 quart syncro mesh .3 honda mtf
im going with 2 quarts GM Syncromesh and level it off with Honda MTF, i got a case(6 quarts) for $62, homeboy hookup, versus going to the GM Dealer and paying $17 a quart:kickass:, need to get myself some Honda Bond, RTV Silicone leaks

I'm using the GM synchromesh right now. What a difference. lol Did I do something wrong? I filled 2.3 of the synchromesh. Should I have done 2.0 of the synchromesh and .3 of Honda MTF? Why?

im going by what i was told to do, but how does the transmission feel with full GM fluid? and how long have you been running in, also any difference right away?

Yes, major difference right away. I've had it for several months already. I tried going through my build thread real quick to see if I could find when I posted it, but couldn't. Probably one of the best upgrades for my tranny haha. It was notchy and felt "grindy" every time I shifted gear, but now it feels more smooth. Also, when trying to shift quickly at higher rpms, I could not smoothly go into the next gear and would end up misshifting. Now, with the new MTF, the tranny shifts more smoothly. I can't really determine if it was the GM fluid itself that caused such a dramatic change; because, I was low on MTF. I guess the previous owner never replaced it and it basically took 2-3 seconds for the old fluid to finish draining. lol. I did decide to go with this fluid over amsoil, royal purple, and Honda MTF because of the reviews that I've read about it from others' experiences.
