You can get it at Autozone....

That **** works! I need to change it too, just don't wanna splash tranny fluid all over my driveway. How far does it shoot out when you take out the drain bolt?

I might be able to change it in my transmission class next quarter

Most people report best results from GM Synchromesh - I'm saving up the $50 for the fluid now lol my tranny's due for new fluid.

Original owner put motor oil in it , then my mechanic put cheap ATF in it (better, but still...), now I'm doing it myself and saving up for GM Synchromesh. GM Fluid fills are gonna catch up with oil prices by the barrel!

Don't use the GM Synchromesh, that has a LSD additive that allows slippage in the gears for rear axles and FWDs with LSD. You want the Pennzoil Synchromesh, it doesn't have the LSD additive.... don't want your tranny slipping now do you?

okay wow... bro

1.lsd additive is to help reduce chatter between clutch style lsd units, ie, auburn or eaton.
2.it is impossible for a manual transmission to slip, i dont care if you put no oil at all, not gonna happen, its impossible based on design.
3.seeing as gm's synchromesh is designed for manual transmission, why would they put lsd additive, ie whale sperm?

its time to do a little reading there big dog
