Put 4 ounces of the friction modifier in first, then top it off with about 2.5 quartsof the ATF-4.....

As you will see from the above link, a lot of people use different friction modifiers......

Friction modifier, and top off with synchromax. this is full synthetic. Change mine at 18,000. Then Ichanged at 50,000, still looked brand new.

to answer the question, no synchromesh is not the same thing as friction modifier. if you were going to use all synchromesh then you wouldn't necessarily need extra fm, but if you're going to use mopar atf then you need a seperate fm. you can get it at any dealer.

Personally when I do mine Im going straight royal purple, I wrote them and they said that many people have added the fm with their syncromax and runs fine or have run straight syncromax and never had a problem. I love the way it perfored in the SXT trans, course no posi in it
