I have not read that TSB for several years. I did not remember it being quite that specific.
I still have a hard time with that being the "only" fluid for that transmission, especially based on my own research and experience.
If you drained Mercon out of your trans, especially if it had been in there very long, I'm certain that you found an improvement. Even Mercon V would have been an improvement.
I truly respect Terry Haines. This is certainly one of those areas in which I will need to agree to disagree. There are better fluids available.
