You know I've opened up many transmissions and unless the transmission was recently cleaned...less than a year on the fluid, they all have that same slightly dark residue, many about as bad. My factory fill had the same crap with almost as much sludge but with a stock differential!
After 1.5 years of MTL I had minor build up on the magnet though I did flush my trans after break-in.





Many MTX-75's? Thought you only opened yours once you said. My MTX-75 didn't coated like that on the inside at 130k. Ask Blackbird racing what fluid he had in his MTX-75? He had a new stock diff. put in in what April/May of this year? He blew the 2nd diff. in like 5 months. Now we weren't in the car to see his driving habits but I'm guessing the MTL blocked the oil passages and wore it right down like Rawburt's to the point it snapped when he dropped the clutch. Again it's not a completely controlled theory. Sounds pretty strange to me though.
