Vanagoons,
        In preparing for my road trip south I also changed the tranny fluid. I
replaced the original fluid 2 years ago with Redline MTL 75-80W which
improved the shifting (at least my mind has convinced me so) and so it was
due again for a change. I believe the "steel filing load" was much less on
the magnetic plug than when I first changed the trans oil. Just thought I'd
post this observation for the synthetic afficionados on the List.
