The curious thing is that so many have good results with Redline MT-90, and
I don't. This isn't an issue with corrosion of yellow metal--I think the
manufacturers of GL4/GL5 rated oils must have dealt with that. It's an issue
of getting the shifts smoother. And it would seem that the the thinner
Redline would do the trick,  but it doesn't.

I'm going to see if the local Napa has GL4 and give it a try. Can't hurt.
