The Mobil 1 Dex 3 ATF (multi-vehicle formula on bottle) did help with the gear "nibbles" especially when cold. Do not run Dex 6 in your M6 tranny.

Where is everyone getting the Mobil 1 ATF tranny fluid? I looked at my local O'Rielly and they didn't have it.

1 qt! Pull the bottom diff drain plug out to drain. Put plug back in and take out the bolt above it the drain bolt and fill with fluid. Only 1 qt!!! Make sure u have a hand pump for adding fluid makes it a piece of cake. It's a tight fit without one but is managable.

I'm not sure if this has been said or if it's "common sense..." but make sure to take off the FILL plug BEFORE the drain plug...
Just in case you can't get the fill plug off after you drain it... well, you get the idea.
