@ Petros I'm going to keep a close eye on that seal, I am hoping it was just to do with thin oil of the 50/50 flush. Else I will replace it, no biggie.

@irowiki, hopefully with the 3 qts of 85w90 and 1 quart ATF I have in there now, she will loosen up more gunk over time. Think I might change the oil out again in a couple thousand. Oil is cheap, gearbox repairs - not so much.

If you haven't already bought replacement fluid I'm pretty smitten by Redline MT-90. Cleared up my 3rd gear grind like magic.
