He says that new fluid should give you harder shifts, since old fluid is like worn out sandpaper, & makes the clutches slip while engaging. This translates into "smooth" shifts, but tough on clutch material. This is the exact opposite of your experience. Hmmm.
Any comments from those in the know? (Beav)

I suppose if the oil had deteriorated to a point of insufficient lubricity (how's that for a pocketful of 25cent words?  ) the shifts would be noticeably smoother now as the clutches and bands have some new slickum to slip around on.
