Redline cocktail mixture

Does anyone know what the mix should be? I can't get all 3 quarts in to the transmission. I only got 2.5, one full MT90 and 1 1/2 of the MTL or is that mixture fine?

Thanks

I just had a drain/fill finished. The shop mixed all 3 quarts together before the fill. I haven't noticed that the shift feels any different, would this be the reason?

^What's the question? Because they mixed it before hand? I don't see when you mix it being an issue. Whether the gears do it on the first 5 seconds of driving or if you put it in that way. It doesn't feel different because the fluid doesn't really improve the shifting feel. The bushings and short shifter take care of that.

Mine wasn't mixed before filling.

I took the car out a few days ago, the temp in NY was a little on the cold side around 54 degrees. I let the car warm up a little, maybe 5 mins or less. Then I start driving, cause I pull I of my drive way I don't shift at all. Once I'm out and at speed I shift to 2nd gear now here is my problem. I wasn't able to shift in it was so hard to get it into gear. I mean I had to put some muscle but gently into it. After awhile of driving the shifting was smoother.
So my question is, do I have to warm the car longer or ride first gear longer? Any thoughts or fixes for this?

Letting your car idle does nothing to warm up the transmission, all that does is warm up your engine, but forgets the transmission, transfer case, and rear differential. The best way to warm up a car is to gently drive it bringing everything up to temp at the same time.

is it bad if i empty all 3 bottles into the tranny would that be over doing it? To me it seems like mt90 plus 1 1/2 of mtl isn't enough for the evo x
