Tranny fluid... synchromesh price??
Hey guys, so I have a sort of pointless thread but I didnt know how else to find out.
First off, now that the new clutch is in and I dont plan on taking the tranny out again any time soon, I wanted to get some good fluid in there. I know Shep recommends Pennzoil Synchromesh which is what I plan to run. I know people have liked BG Synchroshift as well, but I think I am going to stick to Synchromesh.
The only problem I have is finding it. Neither Wal-Mart, Napa, Autovalue, Champion, nor Car Quest have it. I know GM rebranded it under their parts brand name so I called up the Chevy dealership today and asked if they had any and sure enough they did... for fucking $14.22 a quart!! What the hell?? How much is it at a normal place? I think I am going to go to Fargo or Minneapolis in a couple weeks and I'll just have to snag some when I am in of those places. Shit, even Royal Purple's stuff from SBR of all places is only $11 a quart and I think the Valvoline stuff I put in there (just about the only shit I could find period up here) was only like $4.50 a quart IIRC.
