Shawn, it is time for a rebuild on that transaxle.  You can probably run
it for a long time, but you will eventually wear out the ring and pinion
since a worn pinion bearing throws them out of proper alignment and
clearance.  Then it will be really noisy and rebuild costs will be
higher.

Also, my factory trained rebuilder said fill it up to the bottom of the
hole; those early lower level recommendations were an attempt to improve
stiff shifting, which Red Line improves anyway.
