Changing the tranny fluid doesnt hurt either.

I dumped mine and replaced with Amsoil synthetic ATF, shifts pretty good. Also changed the two bushings under the air box on the bell crank for the linkage with the urethane booger bushings.

Note it is probably a good idea to dump the ATF once a year in these things. At least there are two pipe plugs to do the service but is a kind of a pain, needed to snake my pump(get a suction pump at auto store to refill) hose around stuff to get to the top filler plug.

Personally I find it pretty decent gear box to shift, but I am use to the getrag gear sets in my other cars. Price you pay for having a gear set which can handle gobs of tourque.
