Pete call me seriously. Meet me at Stazi's Sat early AM and I'll pick the trans up. I'll drop off back to you next weekend when I'm in town again for the wedding. Terry told me he'd gladly crack it open free of charge for inspection.

I'd do it. Whether it's consistent with the others or not, it's a data point toward figuring out what's going on.

I've got my MTX opened up and sitting on my workbench right now. I changed out the stock ATF at around 40K miles and started using the Mobil-1 cocktail, draining and refilling about every 25K miles. The transmission, now at 112K, looks absolutely spotless inside and there were only a couple TINY metal flakes on the collection magnet. Looking over the internal components, it's hard to see any indications of wear.  Even at 112K on an almost 10-year old transmission, it still shifts great (i.e. no syncro problems).
So why change?! You know what works. I used Mobil 1 for quite some time. Put it in at 40-50k. Trans was cracked at 130k. Everything was still in excellent condition. Sure as hell didn't look like those 2 transmissions.

Pete, aren't you running a Quaife already? Do we think that the gunking up might be more prone on stock diff trannies? What's the consensus IF Pete's tranny comes back fine, after using MTL? This thread is making me  Mark

I'm no expert, but if the lube was the problem causing the build up, I think it woudl be seen in more places than JUST that diff pin.

I have a quaife already. For ref my stock diff is perfect and chillin in my garage as a showpiece. I ran Syn Mobil 1 atf for 2 years on the stock diff. What broke in my trans was basically everything else. More interesting is the 'gunk' that terry is speaking of from the MTL...I'm no engineer and an amateur mechanic at best. I'm reserving ANY judgement til more data is out there. All that being said, I have great faith in Terry's judgement as well as Demon and War.
The whole bit of Terry trying to sell certain products is laughable at best.

Okay I'm going out of my way and picking up Pete's trans this w/e. Terry is going to open this trans Mon. after shop hours for me to take pics. I might shoot video of his actually seperating it to show this isn't set up. He can crack it in 15 minutes. We will be doing the white glove test to show the residue inside. If it's clean as a whistle well my name is Mud.
