How often u bleed ur brakes?
I've got RP in the trans too, but it does seem to fade in its benefits as others have noted. But yes, I have also noticed that just a turkey baster brake bleed of the master cylinder will sharpen up shifts pretty quick.

The kids are grown and moved away- so another pair of hands for a proper bleed are more difficult... gotta son-in-law that may be capable. Bought a Motive PowerBleeder but its just a PIA waiting to make a mess, IMHO. Anyone want one for a good price- I'm negotiable!

Going over to Amazon now to get some Motul gear oil. Finally installing my Hurst shifter in a couple weeks and want change the tranny oil at the same time. Will report back as to results.
