And why would that be? Because Demon is running it? Do your own research. He said he did his research on MTL. Must be great stuff since he is no longer running it. I think I'm going to make a witches brew and just mix a hald a qt of everything. I'll get the best of all worlds. Demon is just like the rest of us. Just a car nut. What makes him better than anyone else? I think I'm going to trust the guy as Pete said that builds my transmission. No only builds it but also worked for Ford developing the CDW-27. I'll hang from his left/right nut what have you thanks. He has the schooling and many years of experience that almost everyone on here lacks. I don't see anyone on her tearing down tranny's on a daily basis and noting what fluid was ran.

and my decision is to run the Syncromesh......i've made my own judgement\decision as you've suggested i do.



edit:


I just picked up a ford TSB that states

*portions omitted*

"the new fluid (XT-M5-QS(1 L/quart)) is fully compatable wit hearlier (1995-2000 model year) transaxles and fluid. It is recomended that this new synthetic fluid(XT-M5-QS(1 L/quart)) be used exclusively in all model year MTX-75 transaxles when filling a full drqained unit, or when toppin off fluid level."

one question, there is no mentiuon of a "friction modifier", and can't recall what i all read.

is it not needed as opposed to what was stated earlier??

Syncromesh works perfectly as is while Ford's needs the LSD additive. Advantage Syncromesh.
