Is anyone running this in their celica's? What kinda fuild does toyota recommend? I was thinking of putting it in my g/f's 96 celica GT to prevent any synchro wear. What do you think?
You can buy pennzoil synchromesh at autozone around here for 4.99/qt. Pennzoil actually makes it for GM. I currently run this oil in my 3000GT and it is unbelivable. Makes the car shift sooo much smoother. --------------------  |

So you just put that stuff in as your transmission fluid and it actually makes it shift smoother? Hmm....sounds tempting

Yes, it has a friction modifier in it which lubricates the synchros really well. Its actually made for GM transmissions but has become real popular in DSM's and such. i think im going to try some in the celica tomorrow. I will let you guys know how it goes.

real easy...if your a auto you will wanna change your filter too. Standards are easier though because you dont have the drop the whole transmission pan and pull the filter out. Still a pretty simple job.

I'll get the Haynes Manual for the Celica. So it's just a drain plug at the bottom of the transmission?
oh yea.. it's a FWD so it's almost like draining engine oil... it's a manual btw. |

Well, i changed out her fluid and i guess the dealership she just bought it from had just put new fluid in it ( i changed it just incase they didnt). It seems like it takes a few weeks for synchromesh to work in (it did with my 3000GT). I notice a slight difference in shifting so far. Seems like it is alittle easyier to get into 1st while rolling. We'll see if anything changes...
