I'M still leaning toward boot replacement

I got all the PMs, Yeah, I agree with, it will probably be a bit messy. But I'll just get a couple rolls of those shop towels and cans of brake cleaner and do a real good job cleaning them up. I'll be working off of a work bench and have good air compressor to help the process along, and do a good repack with CV grease. I still got to get the parts and a good puller for the crank pulley-harmonic balancer (I've been losing about 1 quart of oil per 3500 miles or when a oil change is due) I've never had a problem buying tools when I'm fixing something for myself because you still save the money in the long run plus you know its done right.

I will probably just change my trans oil anyway. I got about 50,000 on this batch . My question on this is, I'm using Valvoline 80w90 dura-blend gear oil (manual trans) but as its getting colder it does not want to shift until it warms up a bit. A lot of times I let my car warm up for a least 15 minutes, before I drive it just so I can shift it. Is there any good alternatives(I know about 75w90, but have heard from others that it does'nt make that much difference) Any Idea's
