Personally Dex/Merc III work fine with the gals.  Had a hard shift in the 55 but added some Lucas and boom...gone.

The ATF transfusion took place as planned.  The transmission took 12.5 quarts of the Dex/Merc, just like the shop manual says it should.  I have only managed to put a few miles on the car since.  My initial impression is that there is a small improvement in the 2-3 shift, but more extensive driving is required when time and weather permit. I'll report again when I have racked up some more miles.
