I like GM Synchromesh transmission fluid friction modified. The new containers do not say friction modified. The former product, labeled friction modified, can be ordered online from several sources. Tranny shifts are silky smooth.

Dave,
your links are excellent. It almost makes me want to try it myself. I think I could handle flushing and bleeding the system. However, I looked through receipts last night and found that the transmission fluid has not been replaced in 50,000 miles, (I know, I know, serves me right) so I am going to take the S in and have the CMC flushed, and the tranny oil changed at the same time.
This whole thread has been very informative. Thanks to everybody.

It will make general maintenance and also prepping the car for the track -- swapping brake rotors and pads, exhaust, etc. much much easier on an old guy who is not getting any younger.

Why not a two post lift? They are much more versatile for working on the car.

Yeah but I need to be able to store my tire/toolbox trailer on the upper rung when I am not using the lift otherwise. The city does not allow me to leave the trailer outside the garage on the driveway.

Morris, I don't know if you have already taken care of the problem or were actually going through with the CMC replacement but if you don't want to use the dealerships outrageous $$ services you can check the local performance shops in your area, they do these kinds of things for a good price but find a good one. Example; I live in Orlando and CFT (Central Florida Turbo) has some of the best s2000 tuners, they do these basic jobs at very low hourly rates. I like the tuner shops because most of the people work there because they love building/working on cars and some places will let you stand in the shop and watch. This is just a suggestion but definitely a better option than going to a Firestone or something like that (never go to a Firestone!)

Harry went on the practice drive with us Friday. He said then that the rough roads jostled the leads of his pacemaker, causing his heart to act up. I don't blame him for wanting to get that taken care of.
Glad he is OK now.
