Ding, ding, ding = winnar!!! A higher quality fluid will help keep temps
down, especially when towing. I think it costs me about $2/qt for Redline
75W90 at the local speed shop.

Huh? I must have missed something. Take it back to the stealer? Wild. You
know it's not difficult at all to change transmission fluid. If you can
manage to take on your differentials then the trans should actually be a
little easier. (It will be messier and smell better though) Anyone with
some basic mechanical skills should easily be able to take care of it. If
you like, I can scan and email pages from my FSM to whomever is interested.
