NYC Residents - Where do you buy your transmission fluids?

I searched two Autozones and one Strauss and haven't found what I needed. I did find Royal Purple but I am not going to use RP.

I would like to buy Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90 or Redline Syn 75W-90.

why not consider using a fluid easily obtained in the stores in your area?

otherwise a local speedshop probably has more of a variety

The transmission oils I found at the local parts stores were either low grade or brands and types that not many people on RX8Club has experience with. Not that I'm saying there is any wrong with those fluids, I want something that is tried and true. Autozone carries Royal Purple Synchromax but quite a few members have as had luck with that fluid.

I will try local speedshops if there are any around my area.

why not just order it from jegs or summit or any other store on the internet that has the fluid your looking for so you dont have to go anywhere.

Sky Performance can get me special orders for Redline MT90 for 15 bucks a quart. Hows the price on that? Maybe I should just go with OEM.
