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!!!!
Sure, we can blindly follow Ford's spec and forget about the collective wisdom that has been gained here at CEG over the past few years.
You will note that I suggested an ATF that is high in friction modifier to help diagnose the problem. ATF+3 has proven to be a reasonable lube for this trans. I also suggested that Ford Honey (Ford's now specified fluid) be considered if indeed the ATF+3 made a significant difference.
Somehow I'm not comfortable blindly following Ford in all things.
