Missed 5th, hit reverse...ouch!! help!

Went to watch my Father-In-Law race one of my old cars at the track tonight (since my race car is still under construction....again) and figured I take the HO down the 1/8mile and see what she'd do. Well, first pass was a total burnout cause the tires were still too wet (35/12.50/17 A/T's). 2nd pass hooked much better but wheel hopped bad and shimmied and shaked the whole truck. But then, just before the finish line I went to hit 5th, and hit REVERSE....OUCH!! It didn't go totally in, but made some AWFUL screeches.

So, I'm wanting to change the fluid the 6spd now and wonder what fluid is best for it? I'm also wondering if the PTO filter kit from Geno's is good, and if it'll work with the "Fast Coolers" also from Geno's? What would you guys do?

I'm definately gonna add the BD short shift kit before I decide to take it down the strip again!!!
