(prays that he doesn't start fluid war) I'm guessing you have used to M1 fluid? If you have, do you like the results? I am about to put a new-to-me tranny in and that is the fluid I bought. Just curious.

Nah, you're good.

Well since ATF is not the spec for this transmission does it sound like a good idea?

Not really, but...

I ran the M1 + FM cocktail as a sort of "flush." I'd put money on the fact that the MTX fluid was never changed before I purchased this vehicle. The M1 has been in there for aoubt 7,500 miles and now I'm going to drain that out and replace it with the "Honey." IMO Ford Honey is too expensive to use for either (A) and break-in or (B)a "flush." That's the end of my reasoning.
