It's not that obvious. Air makes the clutch 'soft', and the clutch might end up dragging during shifts.
please re-read what i said above.

if he got air into his clutch fluid and didn't recently to a clutch fluid change/bleed, then he's got a much bigger problem.

I changed my tranny fluid to GM Synchromesh last weekend. Super easy and made a big difference on ease of shifting into gears. Might want to get one extra bottle b/c it is pretty hard to get every last drop out even with a tube. I have not experience grinding issues though.
With the tube attached and bottle upside down.. poke a hole in the bottom you can cover with your finger.

Squeeze the fluid out with your finger over the hole and release so you can let air back in the bottle. Repeat.

Gets 98% of the fluid out of the bottle.

just to share alittle story.

I love GM SM to death but when i pour them into my S2000 tranny, it doesn't feel right. I am so pissed that i flush them out with honda MTF.

If you guys like it, that's great for me, i swear by 10k oem flush

but i notice when i use GM SM on my other honda, the fluid tends to shift very well during the first couple thousand miles but they don't last as long as oem juice(i have no solid proof other than righthand dyno )
You need the Friction Modified formula.

diff only. and DONT use it unless you only track the car. it wears out VERY quickly and needs to be changed very often.
