About a week ago I switched over to ATF+3 chrysler spec trans fluid 3 quarts of it including the addition of Ford friction modifier and the shifting as a result is very smooth it used to be a bit difficult to get into third gear but now it is very smooth.

Just adding my 2 cents:

On cold starts and after periods of sitting for a few days, it was darn near impossible to get in to reverse. I had to do the "rock forward in 1st" thing to get in R. Other times on cold mornings, I'd have it in R- only to have it partially pop out and give a nice grind. This was with a ~50,000 mi old cocktail tranny.

I've been running Redline MTL for about 3 weeks, and the offending symptoms are pretty much gone- even on cold morning/evening starts. It didn't seem to make a difference at first, but after 2 or 3 days, I no longer sound like an MTX noob when I back up. Shifts like butter now.

LOL! With all the known problems in these transmissions you claim it is lack of driver skill? Puh-lease , like countless rubes across the nation driving manual tranny Contiques are only having problems because they can't figure out what the third pedal is for.

EDIT: Maybe if people could figure out how to make right turns there wouldn't be so many bearing failures.

Learn how to read dumbazz. Considering half the people i ride along with CAN'T drive stick I'm not surprised the MTX-75 doesn't last long. If you think the spun bearing issue is a turning issue your even more of a friggin dumbazz. Considering bearings are faliing driving straight turning and with all different amounts of mileage on them....that doesn't make it a turning issue.

You're kidding, right? He was being sarcastic there, Harvey...
