i would agree with you, except that my car had absolutely no notchiness or grinding when it was new. even when completely cold. NONE! it shifted flawlessly which was part of the reason i loved the car so much. it has slowly gotten worse and my car only has 1300 miles on it...

That is a different issue. Should not be fluid related.
drove my car for a couple hours this evening and it shifted great... the issues i have are very inconsistent.

There is a TSB now on this.
TSB 11-3-18

I switched to 75w90 RP gear oil when I changed my clutch and my trans has been working flawlessly. No issues whatsoever.
The harder I drive it at the strip the better it shifts.

XT-M5-QS is also a full synthetic transmission oil so I'd suggest being careful what you put in there.
Ford has used that fluid in it's front wheel drive cars for years in the MTX-75 and in the SVT Focus MT-285 Getrag.
.
I understand what you are saying however the TSB advised to use DCT fluid in place of QS.

The DCT fluid is a 75w-90 gear oil based on my research. Based on my experience using the RP 75w-90 gear oil, my trans shifts better then when new and I run the piss out of my car.
I would not recommend using Synchromax however.
I've got the 3qts of redline, hand pump and ready to go but I need to know what size/type bit is needed to remove the drain/fill plugs?
I think it is a 10mm allen drain and fill, can't remember. The days of worry are long gone for me, love that synchromesh. Redline MTL might be fun to try out for the summer.
yep I didn't have any that go up to that diameter so I stopped by home depot and picked up one of those huge SAE/Metric sets that goes up to I think 10mm.
I have an 8mm allen socket wrench bit but there's not enough room at the fill plug to get it and the wrench up there.

Seriously, who noticed shifting improvements with a new clutch and or flywheel, my stang is acting up again, very inconsistent. And which clutch?
If any of you care to know where I am at with this whole MT-82 fiasco, please read my latest here: Official 2011 Mustang Manual Transmission Rough Shifting Thread - Page 461 - Ford Mustang Forums
It is disturbing how Ford is trying to turn folks away on this issue..

Our official recommendation on this right now is Synchromax (part #01512, quart bottle). Actually it has been for a while and the positive feed back is quite significant. This thread had been idle for quite a while so I let it be.
Though feed back has also been good on the Max Gear 75W-90 we think that the lighter Synchromax fluid will have the best overall results especially when these cars are driven in winter temps.
Protection and synchro compatibility are not going to be an issue with either one but shift feel on the Max Gear 75W-90 in winter temps might be somewhat less than optimal for some folks.
I agree with Jimmy. The lighter viscosity Synchromax will allow for much better winter/cold shifting. It may allow the transmission to make more rollover noise than a heavier gear oil, but who cares if it shifts better.
Jimmy, Synchromech/max true synthetic lubricants seems to be the "key" to repairing the Getrag grind, of course....this is assuming the fluid is changed in time to prevent further damage to the gear box.

funny how ever post u have made is negative. Another screen name Jmatero?
You guys an jmatero.. it's funny.
No, not him, but like him in the sense that Ford is turning me away at every level now. I am at the point where I am going to either file lemon, or leave it at the dealership and raise hell everywhere I possibly can about it.
My posts may be negative about the tranny... as it is broken!! Go figure, right? My point is that I am not here to talk aside facts; I want no BS just like you guys. I am here trying to be one of the honest owners of this transmission and show you all what the FFFF we all have to go through; those of use with tranny problems.
You'd be a little upset, too.
