I went and got the pennzoil syncromesh. Thanks guys for the clarification.
It was $6.50 at autozone, but I didn't go searching everywhere for a better
deal, just wanted to get out of the heat.

Its in a 2001 TJ and I just topped 55000 miles recently. I drove it around
a bit and it was shifting smoothly again. As far as I can tell the clutch
still operates fine, I can be idling and gently let it out in first and I
dont even have to give it gas. My buddy (drives a honda) is amazed by that.

You can also point it up a sand pit wall, get out and walk the thing up
the hill in 1st low. The computer keeps it from stalling.

Last I checked it was something like $12/qt at dealer, that's why I was
looking around for it. Got into a snipping match with D-C because the
factory service manual and owner's manual says do not use anything but the
dealer stuff, but if there is no aftermarket equivalent they are supposed to
provide it for free. At the time the Pennzoil wasn't available.
