Application
TS-91 Super Moly Treatment is an ultra- premium additive for oil used in final drives and transmissions of motorcycles(i called and they said it is also for Automobile MT application). It is compatible with all grades of gear oils. DO NOT USE IN TRANSMISSIONS WITH WET CLUTCHES.
Benefits
TS-91 Super Moly Treatment is a proprietary blend of moly and synthetic oil. Moly is a solid film lubricant with an exceptional low coefficient of friction and an affinity for steel. The moly decreases friction of the two counter-moving sliding surfaces of gear teeth by filling in microscopic pores of the metal surfaces and plating out over the surface.
TS-91 lessens metal-to-metal contact
. . . to reduce friction and wear.
The synthetic oil enhances the capability of mineral oil to retain it viscosity ("thickness") at elevated temperatures. This capability is especially beneficial when the gears run at high speeds. High speeds generate heat that causes normal oils to become "thin" (lower viscosity) and reduce their abiltiy to provide an adequate film of lubricant between the contact surfaces of gear teeth.
TS-91 enhances oil viscosity
. . . to reduce friction and wear.
How To Use
Mix TS-91 Super Moly Treatment with the oil. For mixing in a quart of oil, replace 2 oz. of oil with 2 oz. of TS-91 . It blends in readily and thoroughly simply by shaking the container for about 20 seconds. For mixing a gallon of oil, replace 8 oz. of the oil with a bottle of TS-91 . Shake well.
Container Size: 8 oz net weight plastic bottle and 1 gal. jug

Rep Power: 302 There are NO synchros in an AUTOMATIC, period. DO NOT put Moly into an AUTOMATIC, EVER!! It'll make the clutchpacks slip. Same in a motorcycle with "wet" clutches.
I was about to say WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?! Syncros in an automatic?!?!?!?! 
But I got a question... People who are saying that they have problems. Exactly what is happening? Are you actually hearing a small grind noise like if you mis-clutch or is it just a little grind feeling in the shifter? Cause I get the feeling with almost every shift I do except 3 to 4.
Also, I do alot of syncro shifting... but I haven't missed once since I was first learning on my 95. All of a sudden it doesn't work going into 5th unless it's at medium r's. Also, 4th is selective on when it wants to work. Does this mean that the syncros are no good on those gears? It happens (or rather doesn't) whether it be cold or warm... Like I said, I never missed on this car or grinded any gears. I may have touched a little bit, no more than 2 or 3 times in the past 4 months I've had it, cause of a mis-clutch, but never actually forced it through the grind.

Rep Power: 0 i think it's time for you to flush your trans fluid... when I had my 01 tranny everytime I had that problem, I flushed my fluids and that fixed the problem... but I can never go past 6months with out changing my transmission fluid... 
^^^I haven't tried this one yet... I just order it today... it's a Synthetic Oil with MOLY mix... the ones I put in my tranny right now is the Grease form, so this may take longer to notice a difference untill the MOLY GREASE is blended w/ the TRANS OIL and or takes contact w/ the gears/components... So the TS-91 will take effect right away cos it is an OIL FORM already and it blends with TRANS OIL, that's why I got it.

Can always try the Moly once you put fresh oil in the tranny.

but if this moly grease works, I might reconsider once every 12months at the latest regardless of miles put into it...
OK, so how much Moly do I add to my 90w? Or is it 70...? Also, is there a DIY on this site for changing lube? Probably is, I'm just to lazy to look right now 
But this should take care of both my problems, right?

so this is the syncros, i fuggin pretty sure it's inside the fuggin bell tranny... so where could it be if it's not inside the transmission?
ow you fvcker! sorry I missed the AT, I was talkin about the MT... but just to clear this out, the MT synchros is INSIDE the BELL HOUSING right?

Do you know what your talking about? Right? I don't pretend to understand the mechanics of syncros, but if each gear has it's own, they are definitely NOT in the "bell-housing" of a MT, if one would so call it that...

Do you know what your talking about?^^^ok it's the number 9, if you wanted to be all technical then yes, we will call it MT HOUSING...
^^^this is BELL HOUSING is the metal piece that covers the CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE AND THE FLYWHEEL...correct?
now I call the whole thing (MT HOUSING + BELL HOUSING) as a whole "BELL HOUSING" coz it shapes like a fuggin bell!

I thought pnoyster2k1cvic was being very informative, till he said that. Maybe I should of corrected him in a softer way.

:rofl
I diddn't even think it looked like a bell... AT yea cause it's actually circular in shape. But either way, they serve the same purpose: one holds the clutch, the other holds the torque converter.

Rep Power: 0 ow come on give me a slack, i may have changed my transmission by myself but that don't mean, i'm always correct, plus that was a miss communication, and not to mislead somebody... but ok enough with this... all I know is MY TRANSMISSION'S BETTER now

Rep Power: 0 So...Am I getting this correctly? The 01 EX MT has a few problems or is it the gears in it? When I get a turbo should I get an 04 EX MT or stay with my 01 EX MT and just swap the 3rd/4th/5th gears in from a newer DX/LX so that I maintain the quick acceleration from the go but make better use of the turbo in 3rd-5th? Please correct any misconceptions.
My 01 mt lx was making noises plus grinding and hard to shift sometimes so I did the swap and changed my 01 mt lx for a 04 mt lx.
It was working lot's better but I did had the same shiftng grinding problem till I replaced the shifting cables, apparently they suck and go out often.
Now is awesome and deffinately I can hold boost longer in each gear.

Rep Power: 0 ok guys help me out here. my auto tranny shifts gears too early and it likes to go into neutral or it just revs while im driving, anyone know what the problem is? i was told by some mechanic something about solenoids went out, dont remember which ones. on another note, if i were to just change my tranny should i get the 04 lx tranny since i am turbo? should i change the gears in my existing tranny? how much would these things cost?

Rep Power: 0 Seems like a cheaper alternative to replacing the whole tranny. How certain are you that this will help? By the way how much you paid for those cables? Is the replacement simple enough to DIY ?
