RE: Pennzoil Synchromesh... Anybody use it?

Yeah, I used it in my 91 GSX and had great results... I don't understand it either. I am now wondering if it has something to do with t-45 vs 3650? I am pretty consistant with my mechanicals, and very good at deducing problems. And, it was very clear after about 8 trans flushes in 1.5 year what the problem was. A monkey could have figured this one out. I called Tremec once and they said ONLY use standard non-synthetic trans fluid.

did tremec say that for just the t-45 or both the 45 and 3650?

3.17 quarts of NON-synthetic Dexron III/Mercon is what Tremec revised the specs to for the 3650. I called and confirmed yesterday since its getting cold my car is shifting like crap. The Tremec guy told me that synthetics will eat the trans internals over time.

RE: Pennzoil Synchromesh... Anybody use it?

I was just asking about the t-45 at the time. I have about 143k on my trans now, I think I'll just keep with the trans fluid thats on sale! Till of course it, takes a dump on the track sometime. Remeber, I still have another trans just sitting here like waisted money. lol
