A833 4 Speed Problems.

hopefully your problem is nothing too serious

I know some manual transmission folks here like to use this


I would think that stuff would be a sure fire way of generating lots of gear grinding during shifts. You need to have the correct friction coeficient or the syncros don't work.

I tried Mobil 1 synthetic gear lube once, I went around the block and pulled right back into the garage and drained it. The gears would grind on every up or down shift, put ATF back in an all was fine. I now run a specific manual transmission fluid (Penzoil Syncromesh).
