synthetic manual tranny oil...

Yea I do have some rough idle...I guess I can try that too...but I'll try to practice on my roommate's car first.

and....HELP!!!
Where can I find the 23mm socket in store?? I don't want to wait for it to ship so I can do it tomorrow...I checked sears but they don't carry it in store...

have you tried an autozone or advance auto parts type place?

I got mine from Autozone...I think Harbor Freight might carry individual sockets as well. Sears, Lowes and Home Depot don't carry individual sockets anymore...

For plugs, I run the NGK ZFR5F-11s. They're slightly longer reach and some guys think they smooth out the idle some and make the car run smoother (I agree). If you go to pick up a set, they'll probably ask you what car they are for, and then tell you they won't fit a P5. I just took the number in and had no problem.

OK tmr I'll try autozone, pepboy, and napa....I don't think I've seen a harbor freigh around here...If not found, I'll just do it next weekend then...
That means I have to wake up early...huh? did I just lose one hour?

yup daylight savings time

I did everything, but I found out that Harbor Frieght does not sell 23mm sockets. Only If you but the 60-something piece set you can get one, but the 7-12 piece impact deepwells (what I was planing on getting) don't have any 23mm's.

Most of the kits go ....19,20,21,22,24 GRRRR!!!!

So I went to Northern Tool and got one for cheaper then Autozone had one.

I did it yesterday and drove it today. It definitely made some difference but not dramatically, still a little slow to shift into 2nd when cold, but better. At least I won't complain now. Ha.
Oh, I used redline MT-90.

Good choice!

Alright, now the oil change is done, how do I clean the funnel and the tube so I can reuse it on other project?
