Well my 90 shifted ok with the ATF, After I did the clutch ATF went back 
in and it was a bit harder to shift and I won't swear to it Ron but I 
think you and I had this conversation at Lapeer and switched to the gear 
lube and it was pretty good. Then I did a 50/50 mix gear lube ATF and it 
shifts great now. So I would say use what works and play with it till 
you find it.
