GM Synchromesh Friction Modified
Anybody know where to pick up some GMSFM? I usually go to Thorsen Pontiac in Pasadena but they are fresh out. Team Chevy in Pasadena is out too. Most of the other dealers in the Alhambra area don't even carry it.
Where do you guys usually buy? I need to change my tranny oil tomorrow.

find a supplier near you... there FM tranny fluid is the same thing as the GM's. If you need to know the part number use the SEARCH function on this board... and if you STILL cant find it i'll look into it for you

Hey Roy,
does it make a huge difference?
Signed,
Still irritated with my tranny. No, not THAT kind of tranny.

One other thing, it doesn't last that long. After about 4,500 miles, it loses it's effectiveness. I've used it on my last three tranny changes, always doing it less than 5000 miles apart. Around that time, the 1-2 notchiness starts coming back, 3-4 feels a little less smooth. It's bearable, but definitely not as good as the first couple thousand miles.

I had to drive all the way to Costa Mesa to get my GM Syncromesh FM at some Cadillac dealer out there! 
Samira, you want me to pick you up a couple bottles if I find some?
