[QUOTE="shaggist, post: 5521721, member: 62533"] The main thing is curing shifting difficulties with the MTX-75 transmission is to have the correct tranny fluid in the box. This is Motorcraft Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid, Part # XT-M5-QS, or 'Golden Honey'. It is available at your Ford Parts Dep't, and costs about $17.00/qt(you will need 3 qts). Drain the old stuff out of your box, letting it drip overnight, and refill with 'honey'. I can't emphasize how important this is, as almost any other fluid will cause the shifted forks to swell and bind, leading to stubborn shifts. The Contour.org site has numerous discussions about this and why it MUST be done. [/QUOTE]
