I would like to go with a synthetic tranny fluid, I did do a search and did not find much. One guy said he did some research and even called Mobil and that they said it was a NO for the ford tranny, then I read a thread where a member went with Mobil 1 full synthetic ( mercon compadible) ATF.
OK, so I am confused now
, anybody got some constructive input to this thread????????????

David, that was me that called Mobil about the Synthetic trans fluid. BUT the topic was about an automatic tranny. We autos may only use MERCON V ATF. The synthetic Mobil 1 ATF is good for MERCON rating that meets the spec for the manual trans.

Is there an advantage to running full synthetic in the tranny? I mean, I realize it'd probably last longer, lubricate better, etc., but does it make it quieter or increase power a bit?
#12
It may make it a little louder. But it will run cooler use less power and last longer. It has been my experience that some times it makes it harder to shift at high rpms. I believe this is because synchronizers are also lubracated better so it takes more pressure on the shifter and takes more time for the gears to mesh.
