how much is needed, where exactly is the fill hole located and what fluid is recomended?


im thinking of trying gm syncromesh mtf because thats what most people seem to say works best, unless any of you have a better suggestion...

 

With regard to changing the manual transmission oil/fluid, this thread may help.

With regard to GM’s synchromesh fluid, be sure it is GL-4. GL-4 refers to fluid that can withstand extreme pressure. Our manual transmission specifies a GL-4 lube.

AMSOIL sells a synchromesh transmission fluid for manual transmissions that they describe as “specifically designed for manual transmissions and transaxles with synchromesh systems that require light viscosity, non-extreme pressure fortified oil.” This is a 5W-30 oil.

They also sell a manual transmission gear lube that is a 75W-90 API GL-4 Lube. According to AMSOIL, “AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube (MTG) is a premium blend of the finest synthetic base oils and advanced, high-performance additives. It is formulated specifically for maximum protection in the most demanding manual transmission and transaxle applications where an extreme pressure GL-4 gear lube is specified.”

Based on AMSOIL’s description of their products, it seems that the synchromesh fluid is lightweight and not GL-4. Check your facts and make sure you don’t ruin your transmission with the wrong fluid.

 

This what you have to use for your tranny.
