M1 plus 2 oz of cocktail for about 80k. LOL! Trans looked great when it was opened up. I think I only had one sync replaced for peace of mind.

I had this in my trans when it broke, but totally diff circumstances. I may be going out on a limb here and say that I think this cocktail helped wear my synchros out faster. I had the stuff in for less than 3 months and then my 3rd gear started to say FU. At 5 months or so my shift tower broke...unrelated.

Any thoughts on this...my claim is without lubelogical expertise sooo...grain of salt.



could definately be coincidence, but I had the EXACT thing happen to me. 3rd gear syncro went out within 3 months of adding the FM and M1 coctail. I installed the fluid at about 80k miles.
