okay, everyone knows that you can pick up power by using the right oils, such as royal purple for instance. i know that some cars need specific oils though, such as the zx2 needing atf in the manual trans. while looking for an increase of power, what kind of gear oil should i use? can i use a synthetic, a mix, or can i go as far as to use some stuff like trick shift? i have a h22a1
m4b7 trans. thanks!

Go with either Honda Manual Transmission Fluid found in the Honda Parts department or GM Syncromesh found in most General Motor dealerships.

I've heard good things about Syncromesh especially towards cars that have grinding issues.

D.Nick

Yup. I used it on my last two cars.

but what about the best to reduce frictional loss while still maintaining lubricity?

D.Nick

Honestly. You don't really have to worry about all that. Just choose one of the two I recommended and you will have no problems at all.

i just switched from GM Syncromesh to Amsoil syncromesh. The Amsoil is full synthetic and is designed for brass syncros. The GM syncromesh has sulfates which eat away at the brass.

I learn something new everyday.

Well thanks for the interest. I appreciate it.

Thats how the zx2 trans was, if you used anything other than specified, the acids would eat away at the synchros.
