Huh. He had recommended MTL as second to Ford Honey back before I put MTL in mine.
OK, I take that back...HE didn't recommend it, but it sure was getting lots of positive feedback, and I like it in mine. I wonder if these bad transmissions he's getting have any other commonalities?
I probably should just bite the bill and change over to Ford Honey anyway.  Cheaper than a new diff.

You are so entirely FULL OF SH~T!!! 
Redline MTL is actually a bit lower in viscosity the Ford's "new" recommended fluid. It rates just above straight Mercon ATF. About the ATF+3/4, 80W, or 30-35W engine oil range.
Ford's honey fluid is a 90W (40W engine oil) at operating temps.
How's that for tearing your assinine statement to pieces. 
Then to top is off you are now gong to try even a THICKER fluid because the MTL was to thick.
RP's Syncromax is their copy of GM's Syncromesh. (hmm I wonder who recommends using that  ) That's an equivalent of roughly 85W gear oil.
Then the HEAVIER Ford Honey (90W) is also recommended.
Get your head out of your ass! The diff broke because it's a POS inside a poorly designed MTX. Glass diff, terrible syncros, poor oiling, et cetera.

I'm not the only one who this has happened to. Honestly, I could care less what you use. All I did was state what happened to me and others. Hence my title 'Watch out' letting others know to just be careful. No reason to rip into me like that...

Yes there is because your statement is complete and utter sensationalism.
You should be in a the media. You would be perfect for making up bullsh~t and trying to place the blame anywhere but where it belongs. ON YOU & ON THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGNED THE MTX-75.

Good lord, you are obviously missing the point. If you would like to discuss it further then PM me. But there is no reason to clutter up this thread with your attacks.

Hmm...TH has been post-morting these two boxes that he got in, both of which were using the MTL, and the damage isn't typical MTX-75 fragging. I'm bewildered by the whole thing but he's positive that it's failure of the lubricant that's causing the boxes to shred themselves.

I doubt the fluid is causing diff. issues but I'm guessing it's not good in regards to the break down of the metals inside. Anything causing a gooey mess is not something I would use.

I see all the reason in the world for Demon to "clutter" this post with FACTS. He might not be the most tactful person on the boards but he surely makes up for it in sheer knowledge and willingness to help.
