Well I am in the process of changing my clutch on my new 130,000 mile 5 speed GT celica. I am not sure what oil to get. *P.S. I already did a search on this*
-Looks like Pennzoil syncromesh is liked by all but I can't get it around here!!! I couldn't believe it!!! *I am also worried that this oil might damage my trans. over time as it is thinner than what the other gear oils are* -THe only one I can find up here in the boondocks is Mobil 1 full synthetic. Is that any good... -My owners manual recommends API GL-3 but I could only find GL-5 rated oils!!!!! -Any thoughts????? THanks.... |

If you have a Toyota dealer around, you can go there, or call there, and order what you need. They will most likely have it. It will not be as cheap as snyromesh, but I think it's better. You can also order synromesh off line, I think. If you live were there's nothing, you're going to have to get the hang of internet shopping.

Use transmition oil. i think he meant synthetic tranny oil..lol ive had the mobil1 75-90W full synth. gear oil in my tranny for over a year now..its perfectly fine. sycromesh is great stuff, it works really well, especially for guys with notchy shifting issues it seems. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

You can tell how good your tranny oil is during the cold. If its hard to shift or seems kinda stuck when warming up, then your oil sucks. I use castrol 85-90 in my tranny and yes it does suck,.
