As Taka said, be careful that you have GL4 oil in the tranny. I had run
GL5 Mobil 1 in mine for too long, and almost thought I toasted the
Sychros. A couple of hundred miles with Redline MT90 (don't really recall
any listers complaining about it) and they recovered. I personnally will
stick by the Redline.
