BG syncroshift II,big difference

Changed all my fluids last night,oil and filter(mobil I ext., 10w30) diaqueen in t/c and diffs,BG syncroshift II in trans. I had BG SF (non synthetic in there and i didnt think the trans could shift any better than it did, to my suprise it shifted much better and smoother than the original BG.I didnt think there would be a difference since like i said it was excellent already,smooth as glass with no notchyness (just made that word up lol) at all but with the II in there it is truely incredible.Anyone changing there trans fluid dont think twice about using it over anything else, you will be a very happy camper with it.

does it have the same rating's as stock fluid's. i keep hereing horror stories about aftermarket fluids for are tran's. i want stock fluid but cant seem to point a good deal on it. so i guess i got to get aftermarket

BG II is perfectly fine for our transmissions. You hear horror stories because people use different rated fluid. The transfer case is a different story, only use Diaqueen and not aftermarket fluid.

If you have a 5 speed tranny and you want to use oem fluid you have to go to the dealership because they only have it by the drum.

Absolutely right! dont use anything in the t/c or diffs other than the stock diaqueen. I have a friend that works at my local mits. dealer so i am sold just what i need to do the fluid changes.

you cant go wrong with the BG original or the synthetic (II) in the trans. i would recommend the II as i,ve used both and the II is superior to the non synthetic. You will feel an imediate difference in your car as soon as you change the fluid.BTW i got the BG II from buschur racing (440-839-1900)

BGII is so-so for the 6 speed, works great for the 5. Redline is fine to put in the rear diff. I use a synthetic exact equivalent of the SuperDiaqueen for the tranny, only SuperDiaqueen for the transfercase.

Make the change and dont worry! If you really want to get the ultimate in shifting precision and feel do this if you havn,t already. Remove the restrictor pill from the slave cylinder, put on a ss clutch line, get a good short shifter with metal,poly, etc. shifter bushings in the car and under the hood (2 piece), a razo 340 graham (i think thats the weight) shift knob, make sure you bleed the clutch really good,adjust your clutch so you have about 3-5 MM free play at the top and you wont believe the difference,(thats if your stock). Dont forget to change your trans fluid bro! good luck,Danny

Yes. It is great in the transmission. You can order it from Buschur or even Lancer Shop.
