Jim,

Is it possible your expectations were too high?  I installed MT-90 for 
protection and wasn't expecting any difference in shifting, but was 
pleasantly surprised by smoother shifting and quicker O/D engagement at 
all temps.  Did you install MTL or MT-90?  That could make a 
difference.  Of course, my BJ8 has steel synchros so that could make a 
difference, too.

Besides smoother shifting and quicker O/D, when I changed the fluid at 
my normal interval (10K/two years) I thought there was less brass 
"shake" in the drained fluid.  Not hard data, I know, but it was 
noticeable to me.
