The MTX75 is a 'constant mesh' trans,which means all the gears turn when the trans is in neutral and foot off the clutch,its just the gears are not engaged but they do spin(buy a Ford CD and check the data and 'power flow').The shifter forks are at the top of the trans,well away from the oil,as this is a 'splash lube' trans and you have to start with your foot on the clutch nothing is spinning in the trans until you let up the clutch in neutral(which is why we pressure lube the trans in the 'Bulldog Box', key on, instant lube to all bearings and syncros).Cryo treatment may help but the basic materials are not the same quality steel as say a Quaife gearset & pinion or other 'premium' transmissions (Hewland/Fergerson etc etc).I think before we all try to guess what goes on in the trans study the Ford CD or at least tear down your own trans...best way to learn!...or ,if you are interested, I can set up a 2 day seminar at HMS Inc,I have no problem teaching this subject...regards TH
