Drained the worn fluid from the M46 today and adjusted the clutch. I went ahead and tried some Royal Purple Synchromax® synthetic fluid to replace the type F ATF I had in there, so we'll see how that works out. The old fluid had the burnt smell and was probably low.

On the test drive my previously hard to engage OD (espicially when warm) slips right into gear and shifts nice and smooth. Previously on the highway it would only engage cold, and only engage warm if I was on a downhill coasting.
