Pennzoil syncromesh?
leatherface24 from this forum told me that gm syncromesh was good for use in my trans. its 17 a quart so i looked around some more. i found Pennzoil syncromesh that says it meets standards and is equivalent to the GM. is this going to be a good option for me? also, can i use the same oil in the diff?

I use Penzaids in Synchromesh in my daily and it does a great job and it lacks the evil EP additives. It's the affordable option to Amsoil MTG, but when I put the 6-er in my daily it gets the good stuff.
You want a GL-5 "gear oil" in the rear end. There is a difference between "manual trans lube" and "gear oil".

how often do you change it? so something like this will work in the diff?

You want to use a good GL4 in the trans. I like GM syncromesh, which is not the same as Penzoil syncromesh.
If you have a 5 speed, it will likely eat either and not care. If you have a 6-speed, then pop for the GM stuff.
I've used Mobil, RedLine, and RoyalPurple in various diffs. All seemed fine.

Do you have a 6 speed or 5 speed? The 5 speed will take just about anything. The 6 speed needs GL-4 oil. Most of the track guys run Amsoil MTG. Pm and I can get you contact info for where you can get amsoil at cost.

They have the same type of synchronizers and both should use GL-4 from what I've read. I've had bad experiences with GL5 gear oil in the trans.
