Kerosene would be too expensive to ship.  =)
 
Actually, the kerosene doesn't hurt to have some left in the trans.  In
earlier days, it was actually recommended to add a quart during cold weather
to thin out the fluid and make the shifting less sluggish.  However, you
could also just refill and flush again, which would only cost about $5 for
cheap ATF.

Can he purchase the Tans-X or Kerosene on projectvixen.com??  Crap, 
if you are going to be a vendor dave you need to get on the ball!!

BTW, how can you drain all of the kerosene out of the torque 
converter without dropping the trans?
