    is this it? I've seen variables on the exact mixture while searching the internet.
    1qt Redline lightweight shockproof
    1qt Pennzoil Synchromesh (OR GM)
    2qt Castrol HypoyC 80w-90 (acually 1.7qt)

    and who sells the HypoyC around town?

    I saw some Castrol Hypoy C at Pep Boys the other day and almost purchased 2 quarts until I thought twice and figured our trannies needed 75w-90 and so I didn't buy them. I got online and realized the Hypoy C only comes in 80w-90. I guess I'm going back to get them at Pep Boys. The one I went to was in Brooklyn Center. I checked 3 AutoZone locations in Saint Paul, and they don't carry the Castrol Hypoy C bottles.

    Just curious, What makes Scotty's mix more superior than running, say, straight Redline Shockproof?

    I just picked up the GM synchromesh...wow, spendy...went to the dealer.

    redline shockproof from Courtney Truck (I think the name is a front for the guys that work for them and race porsches. had two car cars in the shop getting engine/tranny overhauls.

    Castrol hypoy-c at bumper to bumper

    grand total of 38 bucks.....:puke: about the same as the redline 7590ns

    Lucky, the only thing I could find in Duluth was the Redline. Every place that sold penzoil or castrol couldn't even order the stuff for me. Retarded duluth stores. I got the hypoyC and the synchromesh off amazon.com though for a decent price.

    LSE has redline too, ORileys or Pep boys for the castrol, Autozone (probably cheapist choice) has synchromesh, or any GM dealer. I'm probably goning to change mine out again sooner than later.

    Changed it out last night..WOW, what a difference. like hot knife through butta! It's so smooth, should've done this a long time ago. It's even smoother than redline 75-90ns, which I've been using for a long time

    If anyone is interested, I can take orders for the Syncromesh. I get employee pricing on GM parts. Special orders, too. That's USUALLY about half what the list price is. (More accurate on hard parts, ie brakes, etc)

    PN: 12345349

    My buy: $6.54
    Normal cost:$10.41

    Sales tax not included. Comes to just under 7 bucks. Any takers?

    Any time constraints on this? I don't always get to the dealership as much as I'd like, but I plan on going tonight. If not tonight, it may be as long as two weeks. Google 56284 if you want to know why. lol
