If it has only got that many miles you had better not run synthetic til it is
broke in. Some amount of some is quite normal, especially if it is not warm up.
your trans could of been done by Bobby.

Van,
Thanks for all your effort, that was very nice of you. I'll probably change
the oil as you suggested with a good full synthetic oil and see if that
helps. I hope you have a nice July 4th weekend.

Joe, I checked with Marty(Superxparts. Joe, I checked with
Marty(Superxparts. <WBR>com) to see if Jamie might h& #438 but not #436. You
could check with
John Jones to see if he has any record of doing it. The oil in the
crankcase is where the trany gets its lube. A good full synthetic oil is
advised.
Good Luck. Van
