This is interesting and is probably a smart move.

I understand that the new fluid can be used in the 5 speed tranny and not the other way around. Most likely the new fluid is better than the old fluid. However, drain and fill does not drain all fluid, now you have the old and new fluid mixed in the tranny. Will this be okay?
