    I had second gear grab on me since this was new last year and yesterday I switched the oil out to Redline MT90. I noticed some interesting things....

    Currently at 9500 miles on the OD. The oil was not clear but a grey almost exactly like the bottle of metallic grey touch up paint I have). I expected to see tiny metallics in the pour but not throughout(there was nothing larger then grit). I had let it sit there for a few days before the drain. I was able to get a shop towel insde and pull out whatever was near the drain as well. After filling and test I noticed after a few shifts(ripped up the highway) things got a little better in second gear. This was not a night and day but it certianly does not grab like it used to.

    I'm certian anything then what was in there would be better but I had similar results on a 5spd cherokee a few years back. Hopefully I will be able to get the truck into first come winter from now on...:rolleyes:
