I figured I needed one. Where is the cheapest place to buy one? Any recommended brands out there?

Is this your first time attempting this? If so, take pictures and let us/me know how it goes.

I wont be taking pictures because I wont be doing it myself. I'm dropping it off at a friends house who is a mechanic. He does all my installs. I just wait for the ride to be done

GO to Ford and buy ONE(1) bottle of Ford friction modifier, and you can get your gear lube from there and it's usually cheaper.
