Because they've actually tested it on an MTX-75 and can back it up. On top of Terry recommending it. I listen to the guy building my transmission.



So. We are back to square one because He hasn't tested it either.
Funny, you will take the word of someone who's NEVER used it and RP's word that it is tested and improves shifting. On the other hand you won't take Redline's word who also claims MTL will improve shift feel, even though EVERYONE who's tested it in the last two years and ever posted a review of Redline posted how excellent the shifting was. Isn't that the exact same criterion for suitability you are using?
Isn't this exactly the way the "Hype" over redline MTL started two years ago?
There hasn't been a negative review of Redline MTL until Terry opened that transmission.
So I say again, it's all good now until someone blows a diff and blames the fluid for their crappy maintenance or treatment, or shoddy workmanship.
Better stick with Ford Honey as at least you have Fords Reputation to base your recommendation on. ( Fords tires on the explorer and recalls comes to mind)

I, on the other hand, have already used RP products and given a decent recommendation on one of their products though not the synchromax.
So I'm not saying RP is bad. I'm just saying the logic is hypocritical.
I may even try RP synchromax eventually because I can get good deals on RP products from a friend of mine who is a distributor and because they, like Redline have a good reputation with their products.
