Newb Question!

I want to replace my gear oil on my maxima. but my question is, does it have a fluid that goes into the transmission or is it just GEAR OIL? keep in mind i have a 5-speed. im planning on putting amsoil. anything better than that?

Again, if you had done a little searching, you would have found out about Spec's bad reputation...

go to www.southbendclutch.com
its a company based in southbend, indiana, therefore the name.
They have great clutches for our cars, I should know I have one, and they make all stages of clutches.
What they do for the rally series, which is what I have, is take a stock exedy clutch and upgrade the lining to a ceramic type material laced with copper and some other good quality stuff. They also have the cryogenic freezing process where they can freeze stuff to -300F for better molecule distribution
