Did I get the right stuff?

I went to the Chevy dealer today to pick up 3 quarts of GM syncromesh transmission fluid, I gave them the part number and they gave me this

I searched around and there's a thread saying that they changed now to AC delco but the part number on the bottle is (88900399) 10-4014

While the bottle they gave me says (88900333)10-4006

The guy who gave me the bottle said that he used it on his Nissan and it fixed his hard gears . Anyone please lmk if this is it thanks.

I returned the ones I got and got the right ones at a Chevy dealer an hour away. Anyone know how long after replacing the fluid you'll start seeing results? Any input will be helpful thanks

I changed some fluids last Thursday. My oil, my transmission fluid (to the ACDelco Synchromesh FM fluid), air/oil filter, and cleaned my throttle body. After I switched to the new trans. fluid it was noticeably different upon driving it right after. Though my transmission has NO issues, it was still slightly noticeable for me. When I shift, it feels smooth, not as notchy (not that it was greatly before).

I'm having trouble shifting into first from a stop and into reverse. I read a couple threads about this happening to a tsx. I did the tranny flush last night but I'm still having trouble shifting into first and into reverse. Sometimes first isn't a problem. Mostly is reverse that's really really hard. I feel like I'm going to break the knob off. I really wanna save myself a trip to the stealership but if the GM juice don't work I'm gonna have to go I'm still under warranty but this ppl will try to do anything so they don't have to pay. Can they blame it on the clutch?

You know... Mines was making a somewhat similar noise about 3 days ago after it was raining / wet. I don't know what it was either, but even after driving for about 5-10 minutes it was still there. Now when I start my car it doesn't do it anymore.

I was thinking it was a loose timing belt but I didn't even touch anything and it went away a day later. Sorry that I couldn't help you.. How many days has this noise been going on for?

Ever since I got my clutch replaced. The noise stops if I lay my foot on the clutch don't even have to press on it. When I layed the phone on the engine bay and you hear the noise stop that's when I had my foot on the clutch

I have that same noise, but I'm still on the original clutch. I'd take it back to whoever did the clutch job. As far as having trouble getting it in first, sometimes I have that problem too. I find if I go into second before first (just back and fourth real quick) it solves it. I only have this problem if I'm at a complete stop though. It happens less since I've been running the GM fluid.

When you hold the clutch does the noise go away? When I hold my clutch it goes away.
