Looks like I'll be doing the Mobile 1 and Ford FM, but I'm still curious as heck to see this.... www.ChicagoCEG.com 2006 White Grand Prix

It was totally spotless when Terry shipped it off as with any build he does. The only thing he uses is assembly lube. Does not put anything in it. It would spill out the axle ports anyway. Notice the nice build up on the shift tower! Slightly blurry but you can see the black residue was wiped off! Notice the tempured splines. Nice rainbow effect. It's not supposed to look like that! Due to high heat/friction. Mmm nice sludge on the magnet. Bet that is great for lubrication. These are the pins I think that are for the shift forks. The top one is how both of Pete's looked. The bottom one was wiped off! These are the insides of 3 seperate transmissions. This is Pete's. Oh nice black coating you have there Pete! AND NO AN MTX IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE METAL FLAKING ON THE INSIDE AS WARMONGER STATED!!!!! This transmission ran Ford Honey. This transmission ran straight up ATF. Notice the huge differences?!!! Pete's is at the top! Look at the nice oxidation on Pete's Quaife! This is caused by the sulfer content in the MTL! Just another added benefit of MTL on top of the sludge. Also on the teeth! So there you have it. Any more questions? Can't wait to hear the arguments now. If you have MTL Terry recommends running plain ATF for a couple weeks and then draining it and then run Honey or Mobil 1. Terry has also sent samples off of each of the lubes to the labs so even more evidence can be shown about the great additives MTL has in it. -'96 SE MTX 3L -'98 SVT 1,173 of 6,535 -'05 Mazda 6s, loaded, g/f's ride -Need a 96-00 manual on CD?

For example... the bottom trans has one big hole and the others have 2....what gives? 1998.5 SVT contour #5979 3L 1995 Mercury Mystique 2.5L auto, all ghetto fo sho
