akrump, in my opinion, I think it would be safe to use exactly what Ford reccomends for their product: The Ford Honey, without friction modifier.

It makes sense to me that if Ford went through the trouble of actually producing a replacement fluid specifically for this application that they would have either recommended FM if it was necessary, or included it in the fluid formulation already. Since the TSB only states to use the Ford Honey straight up, thats what I'm going to do and I'm confident it is safe to do so.

MTL may be a great product for the MTX-75. It may not. You can avoid the whole issue and just use what Ford has recmomended IMO.
