My 87S (196K) has an extraordinarily smooth shifting gearbox for a C900. I was somewhat surprised the last time I changed the gear lube at it's second annual 25K mi interval under my ownership, 10/30 for 10/30. For about a week, it was much more difficult to shift. Then it returned to it's normal feel. See how yours is in a week and follow Chris's advice to change it a few more times. Porcupine quills on the plug of a gearbox that hasn't been drained regularly are the norm. It's the big hunks that mean major trouble soon, not the soft slivers. If you can hear the whine above the radio at a moderate volume, though, the pinion bearings could be failing. If I had no radio, I'd always be paranoid about my trans.
