Pennzoil Synchromesh tranny fluid is a "must get" for anyone with a manual tranny in a Fiero. (Well, either Pennzoil or the GM version, but anything with a GM part number is usually twice the price.) Where's the best place to buy this stuff?

Lordco Edmonds or main warehouse...with our discount it's about $8-9.50 per lt. Now this is for the ACDelco, I have nver tried the Pennzoil nor have I seen it at any stores, but as I mentioned...the ACDelco ROCKS!!! |

Thanks Brian. I know the GM stuff is great, but from I've read on Pennock's, the (usually) less expensive Pennzoil Synchromesh fluid is every bit as good. I'm happy to try either, I just want to find the lowest price. (Typical Fiero owner.)

I see at Lordco's site they list GM #12345349 at $7.23 (with club discount). That's not too bad. Anyone know a better price elsewhere for either the GM or Pennzoil stuff?

Could always hit up eBay. Summit sells it there for the low low price of only $14.95 USD + shipping!
Or some other place trying to get $20.88 WTF?!?!?!?!  I'd say that @ $7.23 WE SHOULD SELL ON EBAY!!! |

What was it that PT Barnum is credited as saying about a sucker being born every minute?

I phoned my local Lordco (East 2nd, Vancouver) and asked about the availability of GM Synchromesh. Not only did they not have any in stock, but the guy maintained that no Lordco location would have it and that it could not be ordered in. Hmmmm.... Back to square one.

And my store (Scott road) usually stocks it as well.
This is no different than talking to 3 different guys at one store about part XYZ, and getting 3 different prices.  |

I'll phone a couple of the Burnaby locations (which are relatively close to me) to see what they say. Have I mentioned that I hate talking to parts guys on the phone.

What I eventually found out when talking to a more helpful guy at the Douglas Road location of Lordco is that the GM # for the Synchromesh fluid in their stores is 89021808, not 12345349 which is actually still shown on their own parts website for $7.23 The price for the stuff with the new number, with our club discount is $10.27 He had none in stock, but he informed me that according to his computer, the Vancouver store which I had just talked to a few minutes earlier (and was told by them that no Lordco locations carry GM Synchromesh fluid) has eight on the shelf.

Thanks for the offer Brian, but no, I'll pay a visit to the Vancouver location and find out once and for all what's on their shelf.

Once again we find that Lordco counter people are idiots.
Not all of them are bad, I have had some great ones in the past, however all the "great" ones have quit and moved on to better things. Maybe I should apply for that new store in Guildford. Just so we can have a club rep on the inside. I hear they have great medical to make up for the lack of wages. |

I just returned from there. I have a hilarious story to tell of the experience (it's priceless!), but I want to work on the car right now. ...
