I still have some used Redline MTL from my last flush and I can send it in for analysis.

Life of trans;
1) Low mileage trans (less than 25k miles) bought from LKQ Auto Parts of Northern California
2) Sent to Terry for Upgrade/Quaife
3) Ran Ford "Honey" for first 500 miles, flushed
4) Ran Ford "Honey" for next 500 miles, flushed
5a) Ran MTL for rest of life, flushed every 15k miles (+/- 1k miles)
5b) Has been flushed/filled with MTL 4 times (approximately at 60K,75k,90k,105k)
6) Car is currently at 109k miles.
7) Only 5 passes down the 1/4 mile, never autocrossed, lots of spirited mountain driving.





But you have had a Quiafe. A much different animal than the stock diff. The problems lie in build up under the planet gears. I'm sure a tranny using MTL with an LSD will hold up. Is it the healthiest though? Is it tempered on any of the splines, oxidation on the LSD?
