5-spd tranny fluid
#2
I have AMSoil 75w90 in mine. No problems so far, but I am sure my tranny will die from shifting abuse one day in the near future. AMSoil is good because it is supposed to be OK with limited slip diffs.

lol, ive been hearing alot from the honda dorks bout the gm synchromesh, but considering its coming from a honda driver i dont really rely on that information, i currently have valvoline fully synthetic tranny fluid in there with no probs, but i wanted to switch to something better, perhaps it'll be amsoil instead of redline mt-90.

Amsoil Synthetic
Yes you only need about 4.75 quarts. It will start to overflow but you need to buy 5 quarts.

Wait I ment GL3, yeah Gl4 thats the stuff thats bad for Nissan Trannys, they were talking about it on the Nissan forums a while back, Like it eats the metal or its too corosive, they said GL3 works a lot better, cant remember the exact reason

^yeah, it's gl-5 that's bad for nissan trannies. which is what my mechanic put in. without asking me whether i wanted him to do it. and then told me it WAS the right fluid and would stop my diff. bearing problem. last time i go there.
