I have noticed, especially with the metal gears, and even more especially, when they are new , it is important to replace the gear diff oil very frequently. Thankfully, it isn't difficult to do on the A700. Especially in mod I've noticed more stable cornering after fresh fluid is used.

Oleg suggested, if there is excessive metal shavings, to use 3x6x0,1mm steel shims between G06 satellite gears and AT24. A slight bit of reduction in G06 (big or small face) might be necessary due to the added shim so G06 won't bind.

as far as filling it, I'd go with what the manual says.
