What are DSM people running for tranny fluid these days?

If you wanna wreck diffs, use GM Syncromesh, otherwise if you want actual gear oil redline from map seems to be the cheapest option.

I'm using Royal Purple right now. Not bad at all. Gonna go royal purple this summer with the trans, transfer case and rear diff.

I've done the heavyweight, and lightweight cocktail mix. Right now I think it's lightweight, MTL and MT-90. Either that or MTL and 2 lightweight. I forget.

You only put shockproof in the rear end and transfer case. I believe when I put the redline coctail in my dsm I used 2 mt-90 and 1 mtl. It's been a while though, so I don't remember for sure

can anyone verify that its 2 mt90 and 1 mtl?? Wheres the cheapest place to get this stuff?

[Swifty1638]

Get it at MAP. You can run those if you want, that's a good mix for smooth shifting. My mix is thicker, better for gears, and not soo much the syncros.

I use redline. I guess Shep also uses it. So, I use it in his tranny. a mix of mt-90, MTL, and the pink heavy shockproof oil..used to use the lightweight stuff. Only reason I switched was cuz MAP was outta the blue shtuff last year.

Do not put in to much Heavy or you won't beable to shift unless your transmissoin is very very warm. The stealth saw straight lightweight.

I've had horrible luck with Syncromesh and dsm transmissions. Better luck using the valvoline GL-4 stuff you could get at Napa when redline isn't available.

I run straight mt90 in my eclipse. TRE has a good section (at least used to) on what fluid to use. Might help if you read that.

Redline: 2 qts of MT-90 mixed with 1 qt MTL has proven to work very well and is what I've used for years.

MAP generally keeps plenty in-stock.

I have used Syncromesh for years and everything has been fine. I will be trying a different fluid this year.

I use straight hevey weight in the evo tranny now. it works alot better over the mix I took out.

I got it from craig. used the style discount and was cheaper than any one elce can sell it for around here
