I'm guessing the sun will blow up before they have a public discussion for the benefit of everyone.

I read Terry's thread and it's very interesting. Not to discredit Demon but Terry has alot more experience with the MTX-75 and especially with broken ones.

What we really need is some sort of list/database of people who have opened up their transmissions, what parts were broken, what fluids were run and for how long, driving style, mileage, etc. I'm curious if Demon or others with the MTL fluid have opened up their boxes since running it. What is the condition of the Vs peope running ATF and friction modifier or Ford fluids.

Also people on this site have said not to run MTL if you have damaged transmission components, so that could be a factor too (perhaps componetnts were damaged but driveability symptoms wern't noticeable yet)



Hello!!!!!!

Is this the first post you've read in this forum? I've just had my trans open again and the MTL did not cause a problem. How many times have I posted my reviews AND shown pictures???

There is still plenty of friction in the diff with MTL to allow the ATB to work the way it was intended. I had enough conversations with Torsen engineers that I can safely say that lack of friction was NOT an issue!
I'm guessing years of poor maintenance was the issue. Running a batch of fluid to flush the transmission out is always a good idea on an unknown transmission like that. After all the worn material is flushed out then the new fluid can have a FAIR EVAKUATION.
