Manual transmisison guys...no reason to put in fricton modifier if there are are only brass synchros correct? Just wasnt sure if it also affects the coeficient of friction for plain bras as well
As far as Napa is concerned, the m5r2 didn't require a friction modifier. However, if you have CF lined, compared to the OEM friction material, its supposed to loosen the grip slightly to allow a smoother shift. At least according to Dave D.I think I just put in GM synchromesh in the 5spd in my race car and called it a day. I think NAPA told me that the transmission did not need friction modifier.
If you like the way it shifts, I'd leave it there. BTW, may I ask where you got it? Was it pricey?i put royal purple syncromesh in mine. i dont know if it has some sort of friction modifier. should it be changed out ?
Can you use the same friction modifier that is put in the rear? And does it matter if its a Mopar brand? Don't flame me for that question. I have a buddy that works at a Mopar dealer and gave me 10 bottles for free.
What? No one that has replied knows the answer? Or did I not really ask one and its a figment of my imagination.
Thats kinda the point of the discussion.. "we" can't get OEM blocker rings anymore, so the question becomes "What can you do so that your 5 speed car doesn't shift like-a-truck?"never heard of friction modifier in a trans. i just put in ATF and go. i have to say i did have problems shifting but i think it was the clutch... my truck shifts fine with it though. i have heard of mobil1 5w-30 as well. oh, i used the newer merconV
OEM parts require friction modifier. Some kinds of friction modifier is not to be used with automatic transmission fluid. Make sure the kind you get is compatible with automatic transmission fluid.gotcha. didn't realize we couldnt get oem parts anymore! that sucks
