John Scott Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Mike,You mention Synchromesh fluid in a few of your past posts. Is this a type of ATF? How many quarts does the T56 require, and just how expensive is the stuff? Is it a GM product? Thanks JS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted May 20, 2000 Share Posted May 20, 2000 Well here is the scoop on Syncromesh fluid.. I was told it cost $28 a bottle, and mine took 4.5 quarts.. I got mine for free from a buddy who knew a guy that was a trouble shooter for GM. The guy helped sort out the trans woes and got me my dust shield and clutch fork at cost. He told me that the stuff is all they run in their T56 units from the factory now and GM will not put the stuff that BW recommended in the trans after it has been serviced because the auto trans fluid they recommend foamed and showed heavy signs of breakdown... even with the anti foaming agent... so I used this stuff and the trans shifts as smooth as butter. I have driven three other cars (F-bodies) with T56 in them and non shift like mine. All of them felt like the old notchy BW five speed.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 20, 2000 Share Posted May 20, 2000 Most dealerships sell it for ~$12/qt. If you shop around, $9/qt isn't out of the question. ------------------ Michael Sen-Roy Houston Performance 281-893-6080 ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
