BG Syncroshift. Great stuff. It has been around forever with the DSMs.

Pennzoil Synchromesh. Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone stock it usually. If not, go to a GM dealership and get GM Synchromesh. Its the same as Pennzoil Synchormesh (literally) but its twice as expensive. But if you need it and don't mind paying $10 a qt, that'd be your best bet. Check Advance and Autozone first though.

join DCEVOCLUB.com since you are a local Marylander. There are alot of good shops in MD and VA. If you dont have time to order fluid than do what twinscrewed said and get the Penzoil Synchromesh from Auto Zone, Pep Boys or Advance Auto.
