unisys, I'm not sure I see what you're getting at. RP isn't saying the SynchroMax contains EP additives....
EDIT: I see what you mean now ... "300% film pressure"... I dunno.

Yes, "tested" on the MTX-75. They never advised the extent of their testing though. They could have tested it for shift feel only and drained it out within 100 miles.

I will also listen to my transmission builder. Same way I would listen to my attorney.

I think he's saying that the whole point (which is a pro for using RP) is that it does NOT contain EP. EP is what Terry was thinking was causing the problems. Both Terry and RP now have both said that they think EP does not belong in this tranny.
Thats my take at least.

My sources tell me that it is not so much of an issue about using EP additives in a manual transmission as it is an issue of using the RIGHT EP additives and that it be done in balance with whatever else is needed to ensure proper manual transmission operation.
The older and cheaper EP additives are bad news in a manual transmission. The newer and more costly ones are not.
