Saturday, I flushed out the old ATF and installed Mobil 1 synthetic using the instructions found in the FAQ and at the IPD site. It was suprisingly easy... the hardest part for me was calculating how much fluid was going out and how much new fluid was going in! And this despite my quart gradiated 5 gallon bucket! What can I say... I'm mathematically challenged! I purposely put in too little (by a little over a quart)... figuring it would be easier to add some than to drain some.

Now the good news. The accolades I've read here regarding using Mobil 1 in the transmission is not hype!! At first I thought it could be in my mind... because I wanted to see an immediate improvement. But I did see an immediate improvement! The abrupt, hit you in the back, upshifts at low throttle positions are gone... and shifting is noticably smoother and quieter throughout! Yep... the Mobil 1 was expensive (about $47 for the job)... but well worth it.
