I dunno why 90w would make such a difference because I could slam 2nd before with BG II. You'd think synchros would actually work better with the extra friction, but I guess too much is bad?

If I can't get it in second at 8000 RPMS with the BG II, this transmission is coming back out of the car again. I've had a dozen problems with the shop that did the work (again) and I don't know if this is even my transmission anymore. It's supposed to be built for this.
