If the bottle say its the equivalent of Dexron III, then go for it......

There's nothing like employee discounts.

I was at a GM dealer to buy synchromesh and they said the parts dept from the Honda dealer down the road just bought up their last three cases. He said the honda service dept uses GM synchromesh in honda transmissions to make them shift smoother.

I was only told that, it's not my opinion in any way, and I don't know if it's even true.
I use Dexron in my T56.

I put Honda ATF in mine and it was smooth at first but 3,000 miles later it got really heavy to move the shifter. I just put in Dex 6 and I saw no difference at first. Over 1,000 miles later it's alot more smoother.
