All 5 forward speeds are in constant mesh and synchronized. The 1-2 synchro rings are paper lined. The 5th-and-reverse synchro assembly is on the mainshaft. Reverse uses a conventional idler gear, and the reverse gears are helical cut for quiet operation. The lubricant specified for this trans is API GL-4 or GL-5. Because of the paper-lined synchro rings, a friction modifier should be added to the lube fill. One bottle of friction modifier, Mitsubishi part #ME581050, should ensure smooth shifts.
