Default MT82 fluid change

GT with 6500 on the clock. Decided to do the trans fluid change. Perhaps the easiest thing I have done so far including oil changes. Drive up on ramps. Break the fill plug loose. Put aluminum throwaway pan under drain plug and dump the old smelly ford fluid. Put back drain plug and pump about 2.7 quarts of Redline MTL in using cheap 6.95 transfer pump for quart bottles. BTW, it did not screw on to redline bottle but no problem, just insert tube in bottle. Bottle sitting on ground and plenty of tubing to reach fill plug. 10 minutes of pumping max and done.

First impressions is the redline mtl is a definite improvement over stock dual clutch fluid. Not night and day improvement, but noticeable. Easier putting into gear and cleaner (less notchiness) shifts. Ill have to see how it is in colder temps. Right now about 76 degrees.

For such an easy job it's well worth the 45 minutes and 50.00 in pump and fluid.
