Review: GM basic synchromesh + Energy suspension shift linkage bushing
I have been using these tranny oil and bushing for about 2 weeks now. And I'm impressed so far. I am still being cautious when my engine & tranny is cold right now. But anyway when it's cold, I can still put it into gear without grinding or having "resistance" like before.
Before I change my tranny oil, I have hard time getting into 2nd gear sometimes. Which I grinded twice and can't get into gear sometimes(and I didn't jam it into gear). Now I don't have this problem in the morning(within these two weeks anyway).
The bushing are nice too. With the price of around 15cad I really can't complain much. They are stiffer so the stock shifter pop into the centre faster and I can go into 3rd gear easier with that. The whole shifter become a bit more notchy. But of coz if I have CTR shift & shift linkage that will be a lot better. But that's a lot more $ that I have to pay LOL.

I've changed to synchromesh. I can only describe it like this: I didn't know I had a problem with my transmission until after I changed to synchromesh. I only have 17 K on my MY02 S2000. The tranny fluid I drained was clear and clean. Nonetheless shifting is noticably smoother and the notchiness going into 2nd is gone.
Just my 2 p (approx 3.5 cents)

Great. I have about 3500km on it now. Shifting in cold is still not bad since I never push my car before I really really warm it up after driving it for a bit.
Shift when the engine is hot is just great. I will probably change it every 4000-6000km depends on how I drive in that period of time.
Someone suggested GM Friction Modified fluid on honda-tech also so I mite try those as well.
