Put in MT-90 last night
I finally got around to having my tranny fluid replaced. My first impressions are good. It does feel smoother. Not tons, but enough to make the stock shifter feel little better. We'll see how well it works this winter.

Not at all. It looked fine. I probably could have continued running with it, I just wanted to see how the MT-90 would fare.

Did you just drain out the old and put in the new? or did you do some elaborate flushing to get all the old stuff out?

I didn't know you guys run such thick Trans fluid.
In that case let me suggest looking into Neo RHD fluid. This is coming from someone who has a tranny that lasts an average of 5k miles under hard driving and shifts like crap after only 3k miles of use.
Ever since I put Neo RHD in my trans it's been shifting like butter.
Of course it's $18 dollars a quart so thats the downside.
Good Stuff:
Redline MTL or MT-90
BG Synchroshift
GM Synchromesh
Neo RHD

Considering Neo's datasheets indicate that the Amsoil flows better when cold AND is slightly thicker at operating temperature, is there any specific reason it was left of the list?
