I know there aren't that many folks out there with the 5-speed 850s, but now that I've purchased my second one, a '96 855, it's time for me to get into the routine of regular preventive maintance.

Those of you with 5-speeds, have you ever replaced your trans lubricant? The Haynes manual says to check it every 200 miles or 1/week by the old 'unscrew the plug and stick your finger in there' approach. Yeah, we all do that once a week, eh?

So...do we use Redline MTL? How often do we change it out? If this was an M47 on my B230, I'd know what to do. Is there a Brickboard protocol on this?
