ギアをチューンナップしようにも肝心の“G”がなけりゃ **よう** せっかくの俺のギアも弱いまま。

My translation - "I can't even tune up Gear without essential 'G', so my
precious Gear has to stay wimpy for now."

question
meaning
What is the meaning of よう in this sentence?
This よう is [a filler meaning
nothing](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/14924/5010). It's used in the
same way as さあ, なあ, のう, etc. If I'm not mistaken, this one is used mainly in
Kanto district. Among similar fillers, this one sounds masculine and a bit
rough.

**EDIT:** You may have seen a sentence-end よ or よぅ, which is a mild and gentle
particle safely used by girls and children. But as a mid-sentence filler, よ
sounds fairly differently.
