WTB: Pennzoil Synchromesh, Impossible to get in europe, what's you price? Options

[Ugglan]

Hi!
I have some grinding like so many other people seems to have.
Therefore i like to try the Pennzoil Synchromesh, but it is right now about 6-8 weeks delivery time.
How much do you guys pay for it in USA and how much do you think it would cost to ship it to Sweden (Europe) ???

If the price is right you might make a small amount of money out of it.
Going to replace all the transmission fluid so about 3liter, 3 qrt, will be enough. Might buy 4liter just incase but it depends on the price.

I have a manual transmission so is looking for:

check in to the legality of shipping oil through the mail

[Ugglan]

808Celica: yeah,i've heard of it but it is also hard to get in sweden. Think UK have it tough.

Death: What? should be possible never done it but you colud always ask others that might know

[99GT]

Nope fluids should be less then a certain oz.

[GriffGirl]

I'm willing to help out too if it's legal. Customs might not like it though, and is it considered hazardous material? IDK about getting it into Sweden but getting it out of the US might be difficult. Maybe it's easier out of Canada?

[Ugglan]

Tanx GriffGirl!
I didn't know it might be illegal and of course it should be legal.
I will talk to the customs and then I can pm you or someting to set it up.
btw, does someone know how much the oil cost?

[DEATH]

Depends on where you buy it - under $10/quart tho. i have 4 quarts at the house but I think you can't send petroleum based products through the mail. I was gonna help another European member a while back but then that came up.

If the tranny on the Celly is the same as the version on the MR2, you dont want a full case of this. Only a "blend" of a certain percentage.

Only way I would run a full case of it is knowing Id be replacing parts and I was trying to extend the life until I could afford it.

Finally just did my tranny today, after months of delay. Didn't use Pennzoil synchromesh but instead used Pennzoil synthetic....................that's what it said on the bottle. But my tranny feels great, I have a TWM short-shifter in my car so shifting into first and reverse gear is a bit difficult at times, and my 2nd gear would be hard to shift into and grind when i redline and sometimes not even pop into gear and have a grind in 3rd gear, and sometimes hard to shift into 5th gear.
At first i thought maybe i should change my syncros, but did the tranny fluid first and now all these issues are gone.

[808celica]

sorry bro. this hawaiian boy cant ship oil that far

ok, don't know if it is the same but why don't i want a full case?

[Ugglan]

Death: tanx for the input, a little better price then here in sweden but the dollar is good for us right know
Saw the other tread and have pm the other guy but he had to test it on the track before he know for shure, think he just made the oil change...

88celica: tanx anyway...as it looks right know i might try another oil instead, or wait for 6 weeks and hope the Pennzoil company gets the oil fast. The funny thing is that they said the it is some problem of getting hold of the oil, shouldn't be that hard if you ask me...but i don't know.

mikeE: yeah...i could have tried that but it is tha same problem as the synchromech....we don't have pennzoil in every store.
But tanks for the comment anyway, glad to se it worked out for you!

The viscosity and protection are not there. Its a very "thin" oil. There have been debates ad nasuem on mr2oc.com. The Mesh just masks the problem for a while and then it returns.

However, people have mixed it and had great results. Get the protection of a lube and then toss in the mesh to "slip it up".

[sous710]

so your saying mix it with gear lube?

[Ugglan]

ok, mix it with what (produkt name?, brand?) and how whould you mix it, 50/50?
Never heard of mixing before, in theory it sounds good, but you never know...
I don't know that much about different oils, just that it goes in the trany.

[99Celica]

can anyone elaborate more on this? Is it better to put only synthetic in or to make a mixture of synthetic and regular for our cars?

[94yoter]

i had a third gear grind and now 2 years later it still hasn't come back
so i don't know what you're talking about with the "just masks the problem" thing
