RE: 07 tranny probs?
I was surprised too. Although the equivalent viscosity is not all that impressive, it is gear oil. Maybe it retains it's thickness somehow. Again, for some reason it worked for me.
There are a few posts on reseating the compensator sprocket. You know taking it off and then putting it on again. Some say that theirs was not seated all the way down and after doing this, it helped. Who knows why?
The primary chain tensioner can make some noise and or cause some harmonics if it causes the chain to be too tight. One guy here at work replaced his with a manual one and said his noise went away. Yeah, he's going to remove the outter primary cover every time he needs to adjust it. Not the smartest thing to do, but he likes it.

If you want the best results, use amsoil or mobil 1, 20-50 motocycle fully syn. oil in primary. Formula + is a straight 50 weight oil with added shear properties, it works as good as any, but the fully syn. will do better hot. Repalce your trans oil with a full syn. 75/90 gear oil, again mobile 1 and amsoil do the best, better than redline heavy shock proof too.
