Anyone know where i can get some Amsoil synchromesh MTF??


i searched everywhere, seems no one sells it locally.


Lordco carries Royal purple and redline only

[Phil@rise]

I use RP or RL with good results from both

[BEEB]

I used Pennzoil and GM with good results too !

[jtanner_]

I've used RL before with great results... you've got an rsx-s don't you?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

ya
im sick and tired of 3rd gear pop lol

my 2nd gear dont grind

but 3rd gear likes to pop every once in awhile but mostly a wall when shifting


in winter time its more severe, which i came to a conclusion where i flush it every 5000-6000km than it shifts like butter, no pop no wall.

lately i been kinda lazy and havent flush it for almost 10,000km

the 3rd gear isnt as smooth, and the wall feeling seems to come back.
have always been using the oem mtf.,...but maybe its time to change


heard nth but great reviews on Amsoil's MTF



PS

i read someone down in the states claims that once you go synthetic, you cant go back (for tranny) potential damage?

[BEEB]

^ what car is it?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

05 rsx s

[BEEB]

try the mix that Subaru guys made.
They put a quart of the heavy weight RL, synchromesh, and 2 quarts of regular castrol gear oil for the weak WRX 02-04 5 speed tranny. It helped a lot on subaru cars. I think Hypa tried it before too !

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

tats why i didnt wonna go with full motul

motul is thicker than oem, takes longer to warm up in the winter

otherwise i use motul everything


cant believe its this difficult to find amsoil locally


guess i may have to go for another route

[BEEB]

I used to have the same symptoms on my first batch 02' wrx 5 speed tranny.
I've tried castrol synthetic, motul synthetics, Mobil 1 syn. That all grind and block in gears.
But once i go back to mineral (75w90 valvoline) + GM synchromesh, it's very smooth and no problem whatsoever.

[HondaGuy]

Mugen Evolution: I know that Newtype Mitsubishi (Rev Competition) and MF Technology sells Amsoil fluids...

If you call Newtype ask for Ken in parts dept....

Good luck.

[blacK20]

kms tools in coquitlam carries the entire amsoil line.

sweet thx a lot


KMS will be the closest

[spoonek4]

I've been using Motul Motylgear 10w40 myself for daily driving & lapping purpose for a good few years now. Shifts nice & smooth no matter it's sub zero or 30c+ outside.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

which motor

That's because Scamsoil is sold thru Pyramid marketing like Mary Kay cosmetics. You need to find an independent agent for the stuff, who usually sell it out of their own homes. I'm sure there are plenty of them in BC

[Bath Tussue]

i use redline MTL.
it works quite well, even in the winter.
now after a year and 3 track days do i finally feel that i need to change it.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

either im on crack or im blindfolded


i dont see KMS selling any lubricants

http://www.kmstools.com/

especially Amsoil

[skyxx]

Why don't you either give them a call or head on over to see if they have Amsoil in stock

sweet they have it

http://www.worldsbestoil.ca/Synchromesh-Transmission-Fluid-MTF.php

$14 dollar a bottle


i think i need 5w-30 lol

[Anjew]

grandview tire on 12th and commercial has it also... both the 5w30 and the 75w90..

more expensive tho like 15 a bottle... maybe closer to you tho if you are in vancouver.

i just recently changed mine on my SI and the shifting is butter smooth

[Anjew]

if you got a honda/acura the 5w30 is recommended

[spoonek4]

which motor

L15A with Quaife ATB

See what these guys says:

[tofu1413]

using redline 10w40.


colder days would make the tranny a lil clunky on the ITR.. but other wise its not bad.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

except u are probably running it in a 5 speed

hondas 6 speed is garbage :(

and so is Z/G's tranny

[shenmecar]

I used Redline MTL for my IS300, it solved my 4th gear pop problem. Didn't solve the W55 clunky-ness though. =(

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

wats wrong with Altezza's tranny>?

[jjson]

sorry to revive such an old thread, but I'm just wondering if the AMSoil 5w-30 MTF worked out for you Mugen? Its nearing summer time and my car (same as mugen's) needs an oil change and lately 2nd has been hard to get into and 3rd sometimes pops out as well. Do you recommend getting the AMSoil MTF?

[bcrdukes]

The guy's been banned.

For quite some time already. :p

[Groot]

forever banned :alone:

[jjson]

damns. I was hoping to get some inputs from him lol. Have any of you guys tried this stuff? Or should I go to an Acura dealership and try to ask about this issue first...

i have noticed that the only time 3rd pops out is if i release the clutch before going fully into gear, or when wheel hopping.

as for the second gear grind, it some how disappeared a while ago.

i use redline MTL.

thank god

[Timpo]

if you drive an Acura, try Honda's "New" MTF...

it's so much better than normal Honda MTF.

it's available in Canada now and should be able to buy one from dealership

[Timpo]

really? couple years ago it was like black bottle

maybe i'm outdated..

[Timpo]

ok then just go for amsoil because everyone says it's good...myself included

[skylinergtr]

thank god

+1.....

[Anjew]

I had an 8thgen si with the dreaded 3rd gear popout/grind whatever...

after i put in amsoil MTF.... the shifts were significantly more buttery smooth and no longer experienced the 3rd gear popout and grinded 99% less.

i do a drain fill for every 3 oil change to keep the shifts buttery smooth.

if you want maximum effect... get a shop to suck out the tranny and lsd dry. then fill it back up completely with amsoil.
