I think you're talking about the gm synchromesh I hear that work pretty well during the winter time, some like it some don't, but I'm sure others will chime in with more info on it......

I went to Honda today to buy a replacement for the antenna that got stolen from my car today and decided to get my maintenance fluids while iw as there. I asked what kind of Differential fluid they had, and they gave me some Sta-Lube HYPOID SAE 80W90 Gear Oil. (this is exactly what it says on the bottle) Has anyone heard of this product or used it? I haven't opened it yet, so i can still return it.
