That was the question....
Could you provide me that link via email ? I'd appreciate it.
Next time, try our MTG... If you have any performance mods to increase power, or track the car, our MTG 75W-90 is the hot ticket.. I have several Professional EVO Racing Teams buying it by the pail ...
If it is stock, not tracked or driven hard, our MTF is a match for the OEM Fluid.

Before I made a recommendation, I called my Tech Department and talked to the Senior Tech.
He said the same thing I was thinking. The shockproof, due to being a petroleum oil forms a wax buildup in parts of the transmission. We agree that the only way to suitably flush the tranny would be to run the AMSOIL MTG which has Esters. Esters are a great cleaning agent.
Do a short cycle on the change interval with the MTG... say 5000 miles and then change fluid again with MTG.

How many of these 5K mile "flushes" with the MTG would you recommend?

I see prices of $6.00-7.00 per qt which tells me that it is most likely a Hydro-Cracked Product.

put good redline stuff in mine and much much smoother, had to be around 10km/h or less to pop into first, after switching gear i did a little test and it went in at 35-40.
