However, I called Ford yesterday to get a price on the "Ford Friction Modifier # C8A2-19B546-A" and the dealer told me they don't make that anymore. Something to do with the fact it was made from the fat or oil from a whale's brain. But he said they make a synthetic (Ford Friction Modifier #XL3) that does the same thing. Has anyone made the tranny cocktail using this? Plus, I'm having a hard time locating Mobil 1 synthetic ATF fluid.....Any comments or suggetions to either of my questions????? 99'Contour SVT #1766 of 2760 pionner deh-4400 cd/xm head unit Koni adjustables w/ H&R sport springs Yokohama ES-100 225/50/R16

I don't know what the long term effect will be, but in the short term, I love it.

That's what the dealer supposedly put in when they replaced my transmission.. either it doesn't work or they put the regular fluid in.. cause it still shifted like crap. Shifting problem fixed with tranny cocktail AND pressure bleeding the clutch (manual method didn't help much for some reason). Anyway, that's what worked for me T-Red SVT E0 #2321 of 6535

Your dealer should be able to get this with no problem. Except they charge $15+ per quart for a semi-synthetic when you can get Mobil 1 for $5 a quart and it's a full synthetic. Either fluid will need 2oz of Ford FM as well... 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
