Hi everyone, when I owned my 1997 AWD Eclipse I was part of the DSM forums. One popular remedy to the fragile synchros was to mix MT-90 with MTL or MT-90 with BG Synchroshift. Usually it would be 2 bottles of MT90 with 1/2 of quart/1 quart (depending on fluid capacity of tranny FWD vs AWD) of the other to create a smooth shifting tranny while proving proper lubrication. My question is - has anyone tried this with the Rx8 transmission being that the series 1 series synchros tend to be weak?

Mixing Redline MT-90 with MTL can be effective for improving shifting in transmissions with weak synchros, like those in older DSM models. For the RX-8, you can try a similar blend. I had a tight budget and needed an essay quickly.
