Should be no problem switching from 10w30 to redline MTL. It made a world of difference in our 900's, especially in cold weather. Also, no leaks...It's the engine front and rear crank seals that can leak when changing to synth after high mileage...not the trans.
You can either completely drain the trans by popping the differential cover, or drain from the plug and run redline for 3-6 months and then drain and refill with redline.
The trans fluid switching issue to be aware of is when switching from dino gear oil 75w90, a series of 100 mile flushes with regular oil is recommended. Some even use mineral oil. But this doesn't apply to you.
