Rich, I may have jumped the gun on this. I appear
to have much more serious problems with the tranny
than I first thought. I'm not sure whats going on yet
because the tranny is operating fine. Its does have
a serious leak and I'm smelling burnt oil. Maybe oil
in the clutch or front housing area. No grabbing yet,
but I'm starting to hear a new unfamiliar whine.
Not good!

George,
Let me know if you notice any difference in shift smoothness. As soon as I
find someplace to order the Redline MT90, I'm going to try running it
straight.

Apparently the leak was comming from my transmission vent
at the top of the NV-3500. I seriously believe now that straight
100% Redline MTL is to thin a lubricant, especially for the
summer time temps. It may have been part of the reason why
it blew out of the vent (and me overfilling it a little). I replaced
it with Royal Purple 75W90 and 10W40. We'll see how that
works out or blows out. ;)

P.S. tranny fluid is just touching fill plug level.
