yeah finally got mine done. It was a PITA, had to go back to pep boys like 3 times. Ended up being a 24mm i think. So i had to fork out a 22bucks for the damn wrench.
later i found a adjustable one in my garage...go figures.

Yeah thats the stuff "lucas oil stabalizer". I used 1 quart Castrol gear oil 75w90 and 1 quart Lucas Oil Stabalizer (as it recommends 50% LOS 50% gear oil for gear boxes) and to this day it shifts soooooooooooooooooo smooth. Good stuff. Too bad i bought a 2k3 tib, won't be driving my 1st gen anymore....trying to sell it.

It takes 2.27 quarts from what I hear. The oil stabilizer is a petroleum additive that is supposed to protect your engine. The only reason I used it was i had only ordered 2 quarts of Redline. So i put half the bottle of the Lucas in to make up the difference.
