  We have a kit that you can use to modify the 3-4 shift so you can firm 
  up Just that shift...it's a pretty common problem...  Only thing you 
  need to drop the valve body to put it in...  it's not hard, just messy 
  and you need to pay attention whilst doing so.

  I used to use the lucas more often until I found the B&M fluid...  Lucas 
  still has additives to help smooth clutch engagement, ie slippage..  
  B&M's additives are designed Strictly w/ Grip in mind.  On my track car 
  2-3 was so-so, 3-4 was getting bad with about 200K on the box.  Added 
  6lbs pressure (two turns) w/ the mod valve, did a flush w/ B&M trick 
  shift (their standard not synthetic fluid the first time around) and it 
  was as though 100K worth of wear was done away with.

  But what to use for the transmission in the 560, the standard or the synthetic fluid?
