      yeah the cold is tuff for reverse sometimes but i have had the problem without the extreme cold, just put it in fourth and let off the clutch just a very little bit, and then put it in reverse quick, works everytime man

      as far as the syncromesh, i wouldnt go with penzoil, i dont know if the put perafin in there like they do with there oil, but if they do it is no good, it is like a wax that will coat the gears, and builds up. i have seen some bad stuff happen to motors with penzoil!

      NO PENZOIL! haha

          penzoil makes their own synchromesh

          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

            I think I am going to try some Pennzoil Syncromesh. I have read on dsmtuners that it works well and is about $5 cheaper per bottle than the GM stuff even though it is the same stuff.

            i have no idea..... i was just thinkin they probably would put parafin in there

                I agree...penzoil does not make very good oil. It just makes a mess. I have heard the same thing(no proof though) of havoline their products.

                Getcher green hat, we are goin fishin.

                  cheaper is generally not better, there is probably just more shitty addatives to make it cheaper!
