If I wanted to drain my tranny and refill it with the Redline MT90 and it
still has 1.5 quarts of the original tranny oil in there, will mixing the
original and synthetic oil cause any trouble? Or do you have the take the
tranny out and really drain it all out? Just something in the back of my mind
for next springs list of things to work on.
