Yep, that's fine. One thing to note is that if you have existing leaks in your transmission, they will be much worse. So now is the time to replace that leaking output shaft seal. The smaller and more organized molecules of synthetic will find their way out of small leaks much easier then the randomly shapped molecules of regular oil.

So you want a non-synthetic tranny oil now? I am confused!

75w90 in Redline or Royal Purple will be great for you, if you want a synthetic tranny fluid. Why do you now want non-synthetic?

If you're going to replace the seal, it should not leak at all (from that spot) as long as you do it right!

Talking

And lets not forget to make sure the the fill plug is removed before the drain plug. Kind of hard to shove the oil back up into the trans from the drain hole when the fill plug will not come out. Not that I had that kind of problem at one time or anything
