Best Site for MTX Fluid.

[98escort]

Ok I was searching around and plan to change the fluid in my tranny, after reading a few threads I've decided I want the Royal Purple ATF out of my tranny and want to put in some good MTX Fluid, Either the MTL-90 or Maybe the Royal Purple Synchromax. Anyone know of a good place to get either cheap. I can get 3 quarts of either for $40 shipped so far. Reason for 3 is I plan to put in some Tranny slip stuff to fill the rest.

Don't put any tranny slip stuff in there.
You can't get friction modified additives that help synchros grab. You can only get limited slip additives that make things slip more, and defeat one of the purposes of a good manual trans fluid.
To fill up the difference, 1/2 qt of regular cheap commonly available GL4-GL5 gear oil can be added, or even 1/2 qt of ATF. It probably won't even need that much [1/2 qt].
Redline MTL and MT90 is a great mix [or 2+1]. The MT90 is super, but may be a little thick in colder weather. Amsoil MTF is very good also.
There is always Pennzoil Synchromesh, which is at auto parts stores, and they can get it if they don't have it, if they carry Pennzoil [who doesn't?]. The PS is a partial synthetic, however. Good for a tough year or two of driving. The others are full synthetic and will not shear as much and last better.
Give any trans fluid a few hundred miles before passing judgment - the additives have to impregnate the pores of the metals.
