I'd like to hear people's comments about the use of MTF-94 or MTL in the R-380 gearbox. Preferably from those who have actually used it for a long time. I'm nearly due for the 90,000 service and may use MTF-94. I've heard that it may cause premature pump failure in the gearbox. So, anyone use it? Good, bad? How long has it been in there? Where can I find the MTF-94? I believe it is sold under the Caltex or Texaco label. warm regards, keith zack | ||

I changed my fluid a year ago with Redline MTL. No pump issues because it is at least as thin as the ATF which was in there. I noticed very slight differences but changing gears felt less slick, until the truck warms up. The gears felt tighter. I heard that the MTL is better for transmission life and is not as slick therefore allowing for quicker synchro engaging. As far as better shifting or quicker synchros, I haven't noticed a difference. Dave |
