"rejoin" amsoil?
I'm getting ready to do the rear end (again - leaking) and drop the AT pan/filter (and install a drain bolt)....I joined Amsoil previously so i could get the wholesale prices, but never followed up to become permanent or whatever. So am i screwed and have to pay retail now?

not really.
I "stock pile" filers, oils, lubes. Save mucho dinero that way. I do a 6 month membership via an excellent wholesaler, buy everything I may need for 2 years, then go quiet and let the membership lapse. This way the dedicated wholesaler gets the much needed credit, and I get the great prices.
One big advantage is that I have a Studebaker manual Transmission. That is GL4 land, but with the exception of Amsoil, everyone else wants to tout "trust us" GL4/5 combos.
My wholesaler, who has always gone the extra kilometer is:

Work with "Pablo", you will be happy
As for cost, in the same quality grade, Amsoil, including shipping falls about in the middle of the pack compared to going to a big box store costs including taxes (IF you can get the specialty fluid.) On filters, Amsoil cost near the top of the pack. And you better believe that is controversial.

I just saw this on his site, thoguht it was a one time shot: "Preferred Customer memberships may be renewed indefinitely for only $20/year."
and now i see they have a 6 month for $10...i think that's new. thanks for the reminder!
now i have to figure out how many quarts it'll take for a AT pan drop/filter change and a few drain and fills over the next year.

I prefer Redline when it comes to synthetics, and the MT-90 product would be perfect, except the old VW seeps trans oil, rebuilding just to replace seals is too big of a PITA, and no matter what they say, synthetic lubes do leak out faster if there are already bad seals.

Pablo, see above, found it for me. The bottle literally says "Manual Transmission"
