Pat,
I get mine at Lime Rock Race track but Pegasus Racing Supplies
1-800-688-6946 and Racer Wholesale 1-800-397-7815 both sell it for $7.99 per
quart.
I use it in all my cars, where required, and recently disassembled a tranny
I used for about 7 years and saw absolutely no sludge build up.
Unfortunately it can't save bad synchros from wearing out. It also flows
better when cold and none of that sulfer smell.
Mike
