warmonger, thank you for your efforts. demon also. the last page or so has cleared up a few questions i have had throughout this thread. the responses from torsen and redline are especially helpful. now just out of curiousity i want to see the lab results, but what i have learned is:

-redline=ok
-ford honey=ok
-synchromesh=ok
-RR synchro(whatever)=ok
-fm=no
and most importantly i now have the specs to which i may compare any future fluid.

fastcougar is right, lol, the 1999 manual I loaded must've been a chached copy of one of the others or something. I just checked now and it does say 2% FM. But the fact that later manuals say simply ATF, then finally Ford Honey makes me think I still dont want to use FM.

Also received this from Terry:

inthe MTX75...take a look at the cart!




The attachment didnt' come through but once I get the chart I can post it here for everyone's review

So:

Ford Honey is NOT a GL-4 gear oil maybe?

It looks like there may be no current objective evidence that Ford Honey is GL4. When I found the product sheet back in 2003 I posted it here. Somehow that product sheet did not remain in the CEG archives, but many saw it and commented about it at the time. Last night and this morning I have spent considerable time searching Ford and Motorcraft sites looking for any detail there might be about XT-M5-QS and WSD-M2C200-C and cannot find that original product sheet, or for that matter anything but the briefest of descriptions of the product.

I know it was there, and others saw the post, but I cannot prove it today.

We are not the only ones experimenting with different gear lubes. Here is a used oil analysis from a Mopar comparing MTL results with ATF+4 that was posted at bobistheoilguy:

Look what Terry pointed out to me, this is very intersting!

http://www.amsoil.com/scripts/runisa.dll?amsoiloaf.:rightpanel:1681767005:conto,fd,g,124383

EDIT: cut and past that link I guess

See what Amsoil says is a lube for the MTX?

Also, here is a current ford lube chart lube chart

A note regarding this chart, also brought up by Terry, is that there are different products: Ford Honey, and a GL-4 gear lube is also listed. Why would ford make two different products of the Ford Honey IS the same as GL-4 gear lube? Just something else to think about....

I picked up a copy of the lube chart and a TSB reference chart yesterday at a local dealership. The IB5 transmission, next to the MTX-75 is the FSVT, and is the only other that uses honey.

On the TSB chart there are two TSB's for the honey. 00-1-9, which was already posted, and 01-15-7. I havent looked up the second number.
There is also a TSB for FEHP friction modifier, the XL-7 the number is 03-19-8.

The Amsoil link doesn't work. Something about the search being timed out.
