Wow, just look at how many people out there who are running REDLINE MTL and haven't had a blown transmission....  Well, the more the merrier I say. Just help however you can with pics and descriptions.

yea my tranny blew when i had mtl in it but that definitly wasnt the reason it blew it was because of the major wheel hop i was getting and it blew the spyder gear outta the tranny case. but i still noticed the different between the mtl and the synchromax abd synchromax it far superior

I should have said..."Look how many are taking OUT their MTL even though they haven't blown a transmission" to better clarify.

Eh...i was alwasy partial to try something new....i like trying new things...
But on a side note, since my trnas has not blown in 30,000 miles,and for the sake of science, i will refill it with MTL once again and see what another 30,000 miles will do.
Mind you i have been auto X my car, drag racing and hard driving.....with no ill effects that i can tell...Redline still gets my approval till science tells me other wise.

Well I have SF's MTL-R in my car. Smooth as butter and a lot better quality & protection then Ford "honey."
A lot cheaper then getting raped by the dealer as well.

From TH: From what do you draw the assumption that it is better quality and gives better protection?...Have you seen a testing result sheet that was done per the Ford WSD-M2C200-C specs and testing proceedure?

....now what's with the 'science' comment?,lab tests have been posted way back between this and 'honey' and as far as I'm aware Redline have not run the product throu the test rig used for spec WSD-M2C200-C....so it's the redline that has no science or testing to back it up!.....

And there is your answer. The MTL didn't help when it gunked up the planet gears on the pinion wearing it down. Another blown trans with MTL.

It's better to be safe than sorry I think. I also wanted to try something new as well. If it's as good as everyone says it is, I'll be running RP from here on out.
