dam RP was 17.99qt. at orielly . its in there drained and filled in about a hour. I filled from the top this time took off the shifter boot plate. 4 bolts and some rtv and i rdy for hopefully faster 2-3 shifts. there is a good amount of people on the svt site that swear by this stuff. There is some honda stuff out there too now thats very similar to royal purple syncromesh....im all for cheaper but figured i try something else this time

so far good. i have only driven from my house to starbucks but as this is my daily driver i will give a honest opinion to this...shifts seem easier kinda like a T-5 but idk if its just because i wanna believe lol...i had this tranny rebuilt by manuel transmission downtown sacramento 3 fourth of julys ago since then its only been to the track twice and the occasional spirited driving, it gets the daily run around treatment
