Made a real rookie mistake....I needed to change the oil in my non-overdriv=
e TR6 transmission. It had been filled with 90W GL5. I jacked up one side o=
f the car to access the drain plug more easily, but I put the drain plug ba=
ck in before I lowered the car and filled with Redline MTL-90. I figure the=
re may be a cup of the old oil left behind because I did not lower the car =
before putting the plug back in.
Am I in trouble or close enough? reality please, not theory.

Just as a note you should not use GL-5 trans oil in TR transmissions as 
it attacks the brass/bronze devices within such as sycro rings.  GL-4 
rated is what is recommended.

RedLine MTL seems fine and I have used it in several OD transmissions 
for years.
