As per title... much of a muchness or a clear winner?..

no experiences on this topic?

I had MT90 in my old manual box which didn't completely fix the problem.

I put Silkolene fully synth something or other in my new one, which has been fine so far.

Redline Heavy Shock, or medium or even light. Fantastic stuff

MT90 in mine.

MT90 good stuff :)

Do a search under Royal Purple, used it in my Z for engine, gearbox and diff and yep, you gain bhp a torque!!! I have the before and after dyno figures to prove!!!

 

Still not changed it yet after 18 months as it was sent away for analysis and it's still as pure as pure!!! Well worth it! :hyper:

I wont be using MT90 ever again

I wont be using MT90 ever again

 

Why?

It's supposed to be an interim fix/bodge for noisy synchros, but it's harsh on the box and certainly won't extend it's life, probably quite the opposite. The original spec oil is probably best, I took a gamble on a more modern fully synth.

Where did you get the information to arrive at that conclusion?

I was gonna say. It's a top fave in the US with their cars racking up Neil Armstrong mileage.

I have still not decided,the box is in for a rebuild soon so what ever I decide to use I will post up here with my findings but one thing for sure it wont be MT90.

Will it be a stock rebuild or upgraded?
