what lubricant do you use in your tremec 5 speed

Getting ready to get the cuda on the road, need to add some lube to the trans. What is the recommended lube oil?

GM Syncromesh is what Keisler recommended for the Tremec 5-spd if I wanted my warranty to be good so that is what I used.

Thanks 73340!

Looks nice hemi71. That fluid is about $12/quart at the GM dealer.

dealer was only place I could find it

I got 4 qts at NAPA, $6.45 a quart. Turns out the trans was full anyway, and it has syncromesh in it, so now i have a nice supply if i ever need it.

Glad you were able to find it for less than 12, NAPA near me didn't have any.

they say to put 3 qts in i put it in before i put the trans in the car after it was installed i pulled the fill cap on the side of trans it was pouring out maybe 3 qts is to much should be even with fill hole right??

If I remember correctly mine took about 2 3/4 quarts to fill.

same here, and my NAPA didnt have it either ?   They had something that was close, but still wasnt the right stuff, tried selling me Royal Purple.


Thats kind of odd that it came with Fluid already in it ?

mine was just shy of 3 qts also, i used the GM stuff, i wonder if synthetic would be better? Im leaving whats in it there at least unitil i have a reason to drain it.
