So fellas, im swapping out my clutch with a stage 2 monster, hoping that resolves my shifting issues from last summer and that its not something with the tranny.. anywho, I've been looking around the site and noticed something, no one agrees as to what to put into the tranny, weather its syncromesh, royal purple, mobil 1, dexron, or a number of other things.

so what the hell do I put in this thing? its stock t56, I might drag it a few times this year, it'll see some hard driving but a lot of regular cruising too. I live in CT and drive it from march/april to about November so the coldest it will really see is about in the 30's

thanks

really any dex 3 would work just fine. Synthetic is not the best for synchro rings but amsoil or redline d4 would be just fine. If you want to stay with a non-synthetic to be safe then synchro mesh is my choice. I personally run redline in mine and it shifts great

Id just put regular dex 3 into it. What part of CT are you in?

unless you have upgraded blockers I would not run anything but standard fluid.

syncromesh does not break down.

I got penzoil syncromesh, course I cant put it in yet cause I cant get the pilot bearing in all the way, thing has about 1/8 of an inch more I was beating on it for probably an hour and it wont budge -_-

I run local parts store dexIII in my T56 and it takes a beating, thanks again for choosing a Monster!

i have a built tranny with upgraded blockers and keys and the builder told me to use dex 3. its been 8 years and the tranny holds up fine

if the pilot wont go in . the welch plug at the back of crank might be out a little bit from the factory.
