AT feels better with Mobile 1 ATF.

I bought my '99 9-3 w/ 11,000 miles last month, then changed engine oil/ filter and brake fluid, and today Mobile 1 ATF to wrap up the fluid department. Beside the drain plug, I did disconnect the banjo fitting to the lower cooler to get as much old ATF as possible, using several quarts of new ATF to flash the system (thanks for the advise from this BB.) Just building some relationship and trust here, but my wife thinks I got a lemon because I'm spending too much time with the car in the past month (bleedr/ manual boost, fog lamp bracket fabrication, air box, etc.) NO WAY!!!
Anyway, just wanna share the results with others. Before, little jolt when moving P to R or D (I thought it was a bit too noticable for Japanese AT), and after, I do not feel the shock, it's just gone. Same way when I put the lever back to P, it used to rock the car slightly but not anymore. Certainly I did not expect this, and happy that I did spent some bucks for it.
Driving felt a bit smoother, and I think it stayed on OD when opening the throttle at cruising at 65mph, where I could have got down shift before. Of course, when I press down a bit more (or faster), it just took my will to pull hard on the 3rd.
So, I recommend to do it, especially if you concern the jolt. Now I plan to drain/ refill (only about 3 quarts) yearly for keep it fresh. The manual says every 60,000 miles, yeah right.
