well i went to the local chevy dealership (two blocks away) and bought 2 quarts of GM syncromesh and a bottle of lucas and filled and when i tell you it feels like a freshly rebuild tranny, i am not lying,it feels so much better and smoother and the little 3rd gear grind is gone! amazing stuff!

ha well i guess motor oil would have been better than that tranny fluid that has 170,XXX+ miles on it
