do u use synthetic oil to break in a motor? NO same thing goes for a new tranny, synthetic fluid prevents the parts from wearing the way they need to for the first 1000 miles... and gm synromesh is a great fluid much better than motorcrafts fluid... red line and royal purple make great fluids as well...

silver91gt- that recommendation is for after the break in period, and where did u buy the tranny from? and please no more tranny advise from you, just because the syncromech is is made by GM doesn't mean that is junk there are a lot of things GM did bette rthan ford and they're fluid just happens to be one of them


and adder is right (as usual) use regular atf (the cheaper the better) for the first 500-1000 miles

i would thinkless wear better
well yea after the break in period it is better, what happens is u don't get your rings to wear right when u first build a motor? things don't seal right and the gears in the tranny have to wear a "riding patter" in with each other or they may bind later down the road which obviously isn't good

his rite... adder is a big help to a lotta ppl on here many ppl respect him... something u seem to know lil of.... even if u dont like that fact that his a smart *** (which is funny i think)... his still rite 98% of the time.... and his rite in this case to... use some cheap oil to break in the tranny so u get the correct wear... then after the breakin peirod which most say 1000mils is good go with some nice high quality stuff... and there a lotta options otehr there too.. royal purple is a big one... i also love amsoil... its good ****...
