I switched over to the synthetic ATF/friction modifier "cocktail" at 58k 3 years ago and am thinking it's time to put in some fresh fluid (I'm at 110k now). I would caution against using gear oil - it apparently makes the shifting very stiff. See: http://www.coldair.org/archives/9912/msg00664.html Here are some wise words from Ray McNairy (may he Rest In Peace) on the subject: http://www.coldair.org/archives/9912/msg00670.html http://www.coldair.org/archives/9811/msg00568.html And some additional info/ponderings: http://www.coldair.org/archives/9805/msg00233.html http://www.coldair.org/archives/9911/msg00557.html I personally would not want to risk ruining my synchros and would go with what Ford recommends.

Your car, with those miles, would feel great with molasses in the gearbox. p.s. A useless post to logout with 400. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km
