A fourth full turn made the shifting worse. It shifts nice and crisp now.

Decided to do a flush as well as the oil was pretty dark and dirty, even that I did a flush about 15K miles ago when I just got the car. It clearly needed a flush, the filter and bottom of the pan had a thin layer of metal residue. No large metal parts or slivers.

Will take it for a ride tomorrow and report back.
If it's slipping you should REALLY try type F. I saved Countless .3/4/5's with F. And all our performance builds run it to.

You can typically run less pressure with F.


Good news on no chunks!
