Unfortunately GM Synchromesh does not list a weight and Motylgear is only an approximation. I believe viscosity was the main culprit. If this didn’t fix it, I was about to throw some limited slip additive in there and give it a go.
I would imagine I will see slightly more gear wear, but no big deal. Synchros will fail long before gears. This probably gives me another 50k miles before a rebuild. |
Just FYI.
The gearbox is not rebuildable, there are no parts available. If one synchro goes bad, you need to replace the gearbox. $$&&
