Yes, just keep it over filled and don't idle the truck in nuetral for a long time. If I remeber correctly they didn't get enough lubrication when in nuetral at idle. I had that trans in my 90 W250. when it was new I came back to the dealer and took the service manager for a ride to show him how much the shifter shakes in 3rd gear. if you step on the clutch at the right moment it will throw its self into nuetral. he said yea thats normal. I had no trouble with it. Although I only put 70K on that truck. Wish I kept it. I would be way ahead by now money wise.
