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.
