BUNK!!!Suggest you & everyone look at the CURRENT lube spec list!

Rod shift and ALL MTX's back to '95 DO NOT have ATF
spec lubes!!!!
And, once more, for the record: A parts counter list is not a "spec." It's just a list of what the Ford Parts guy is allowed to sell you.
The TSB "recommends" the Ford Honey for all MTX 75s, but "specifies" it for those built after Jan 1, 2000.
That said, I think the Honey, or the Torco, or the RP Synchromax, are better choices than ATF.
Function before fashion.
