i heard you're not suppose to use synthetic or synthetic blend in your tranny, can make your synchros have a short life i use to use just regular 10w30, but then i tried the honda mtf from the dealership, and wow!, what a difference! it's about 4 bucks a quart and you need about 3 quts., but you only need to change it about ever 20-30k miles, so it's not much in the long run.......

this is true, now i can say "i heard synthetic is good", na seriously though, i use to use synthetic in my tranny too, and i "heard" it wasn't good, at about the same time heard that, my tranny started grinding (200k miles ), so i figured i would try the honda mtf, and then my tranny was smooth as brand new and a lot easier going into gear, now i have a new car and only use honda fluids in it.......
