Thanks...Found a 17mm allen wrench tonight at Sears. Squirted in some synthetic, about 1/4 of a qt. Shifted a little better... I'm planning on draining it, and refilling this weekend. Wouldn't go into 1st at all before, now is shifting, but roughly... Clearly though, a little bit helped... Hope I don't need a new one, just got finished rebuilding the motor. I know a trans redo is in the future, but I thought I could buy a little more time! Can't find anyone that stocks this Redline stuff... Their website is informational though...
