okay, this might sound like a n00b car guy question but i've read so many conflicting things on the internet, i figured i'd bring it up here. all this talk about GM synchromesh... there's a bunch of different versions of this stuff but its all called GM synchromesh? apparently one is really good and all the others are crap? whats the difference between all this stuff and what should i look for or stay away from?
as far as evan's question goes, you're talkin about the 99 miata right? lots of people complain of crunchy gearboxes, lots of people think its as smooth as silk. for me, it usually feels smooth but sometimes (usually in the cold) its miserable. i use redline MTL but was thinkin of switching to something else so i'm gonna keep my eye on this thread. when i had the integra, i used honda MTF and the integra shifter was already pretty smooth. i bought some silkolene from channing when he worked at essex and i was amazed at how awesomely smooth the shifts felt after using that stuff. i was thinking of picking up some more silkolene for the suby when it comes time to change those fluids.
