6MT - GM MTF and Shipping
Hey all!
Another GMSMFM fluid question but not your typical one.
I tried to order this potion from gmpartonline.net and got an email stating my order was cancelled due to hazmat concerns with shipping the fluid.
How did you guys manage to get it shipped to you?? I had trouble finding it locally which is why I went the online route but as you can see, it's going as smooth as my shift to 3rd.
Does anyone know which gm vehicles use this stuff?

Are you in Cananda? What shipping method? If it was USPS, then that probably explains it.

Im in nyc. I actually just called them to see if there was anything they could do to get it shipped b/c others had no issue. After getting transferred twice, the guy I spoke with said that they (i assume that means shipping regs) recently (within the past month) got strict with shipping the fluid. Strange.

I'm guessing that they (gmpartsonline.net) have not yet come up with a packaging format to meet these new requirement and therefore UPS is refusing shipment.....(however, there is supposedly a 90-day grace period until 31 Mar)...

I'm a GM fan/owner by nature, (and Acura owner here recently)...pretty aweseome they make stuff thats better than Honda's MT fluid. You'd think Honda would throw money at GM to get the chemical ingredients and label their own MTF with it, or have a merger on it at least...gm has always had high standards for their DEXRON ATF for years and kept improving it, so i guess naturally their MTF would be great too...Preciate.

Honda/Acura is no different that any other car manufacturer in that they also make mistakes, market sub-quality products, and have problems as well. Heck, look at their on-going problems with both their manual and automatic transmission, their clutch (overly complex), and their incessant obsession with building interference engines. Where some companies shine, others falter.
some manufactures just happen to have more weak points then others or strong points (ie: domestics)

Incidentally, my post #17 was not intended to bash Honda/Acura. It's just that I'm a realist and see where some mistakes have been made. I still very much enjoy my '04 manual TL.

This is true. However, Ford is now leading both Toyota and Honda and am I happy about that. I love it when the various manufacturers take a loolk in their rear view mirror and realize someone is on the butts and ready to take first place. Competition improves the breed and serves consumers.\

as far as bashing Honda/Acura; no worries i know they have there weak points just like every other manufacture; just like Toyota being bashed by the media for those gas pedal issues, BUT when a domestic has a recall that size (or even a million+ sized recall), it's only mentioned, and not blown out of proportion like they did to Toyota

So I was trying to follow up with my refund from gmparts knowing that they didn't process anything yet. I told them that I was aware that GM's packaging needed to be changed in accordance to the hazmat policy and asked if this fluid is something they will be able to ship out in the foreseeable future. Their responses:
"LET ME FIND OUT IF THERE IS A WAY TO GET THESE OUT TO YOU. THANKS JAVI"
"I WILL HAVE THESE FLUIDS SHIP TO YOU TODAY. WILL SEND A TRAC# ASAP. THANK YOU VINNY."
"THEY ARE GETTING YOUR PARTS READY TO SHIP OUT. THANKS ONCE AGAIN"
I'm not sure if this is just their reaction for holding my money for 3 weeks already with no refund, but hopefully it is their long term solution. Now I just have to wait on a valid tracking number.
I tried to find this at local dealers, but all of them want me to order a whole case for $168!

What kind of packaging did it have?

Yeah I was actually quite impressed with the shipping! Each bottle was also sealed around/over the cap with shrinkwrap plastic stuff. Maybe they come from GM that way, I don't know.

I used my work address in NJ to ship it to. It feels more probable that they just dropped the ball on my order and then on the refund. Thankfully I'm not in a rush for this.

Finally got it in the mail today. They taped the caps, double bagged it, double knotted it, double boxed it and double stuffed it with newspapers dated the first day I ordered it in January.

No, only a drain and fill, no 2x or 3x. (Takes 2 qts, 10oz)...
