I have easy access to mobil 1 atf and AC Delco synthetic blend syncromesh, will one of those work good and is there anything I should add (friction modifier). Or should I just go and find redline? I have no tranny problems.

I keep hearing "Ford Honey is more expensive" but no one seems to put that into dollar amounts.

Last time I heard it was in the $20 a quart range. (~$60 a fill) It also needs the Ford FM added to it as well. (Another $6-8)
I've had great luck with the Syncromesh. (I'm running Pennzoil's synthetic version)

MTL by all means then. It will be the better cold weather fluid of the two. It has a viscosity closer to the original ATF spec.

So no one would suggest using the Royal purple gear oil, or the RP ATF? Or has anyone tried that yet? I have 4 bottles of the gear oil here. Was going to change it this weekend to the RP but from the sounds of things I guess I need to take it back.
