Car is notchy in ever gear, slightly grinds 5th when I put it in, and I can slightly hear the trans whining when driving. It's never been like this. I don't know how in the world it couldn't have enough fluid, but something isn't right. I have .15qts left of the fluid, which I doubt will do any good.
Do not drive it. 100% do-over. Are you certain the car was level in roll as well as pitch?

Thoughts?
No. GL-5 is ok to use in non-synchromesh transmissions containing only steel components (racing, sequential transmissions) but the high-pressure additives will actually accelerate wear of synchros.
