Iam trying to purchase the gm syncromesh and would rather not buy more than I need.

Found out from the dealer it's 2.1 quarts

Can someone remind me on the auto. I've seen it like 3 times, but cant seem to find it this morning. I think its either 3.5 or 4.2 quarts of ATF on a drain and fill. Someone help me out.

What would be the best for a 2.3 5 spd. tranny? I've heard the best is that royal purple stuff, but others claim to stick only with Honda MTF.

royal purple or redline

What does this mean though:

Synchromax® is recommended for manual transmissions that specify an automatic transmission fluid or motor oil. It is also ideal for 4x4 transfer cases and / or 2-cycle and 4-cycle motorcycle gear boxes. Synchromax® is formulated with Royal Purple's synthetic, proprietary Synerlec® additive technology, which offers improved shift quality over a wide temperature range and reduced gear noise. Synchromax® is fully compatible with all types of friction materials and offers excellent corrosion and oxidation protection without affecting the soft metals commonly found in manual transmission synchronizers. Try Royal Purple® today and Feel the Difference!

Is it still safe for Manual trannys???

You can getaway with only two quarts but just get three and put in about two and a half quarts in.

The fill bolt is on top and the drain way on the bottom so you can't fill it to the drain plug since that doesn't mean anything.

Try some Amsoil MTF, apparently its pretty good.

Its so interesting how we like experimenting with MTF fluid to see which is best.
Theres also Royal Purple synchromax. I use GM Synchromax FM for the additives. I've had much better success with it then either Honda fluid (old or new). It feels as if the synchros are more conditioned.

Where is the drain bolt? I can only locate the filler bolt, any help/picture would be appreciated. Thanks
