Jay, Do the Redline thing (MT-90). You won't regret it. Also, when you drain the old tranny oil, check for chunks in the bottom and on the magnetric drain plug. One other piece of advice: Make sure you can get the fill plug off _before_ you get the drain plug out. If you can't refill it, you can't drive it. I highly recommend the 17mm tool that the list vendors sell. I got mine from the Bus Depot. It lets you grab on with 3/8" socket (and appropriate universal/wobblers) and it sticks out far enough that you can get a 17 mm wrench on it as well. -Karl
