transmission fluid mt6

[Fast351]

Very interesting ... I tinkered around a bit and even 4.30s might be a good choice.

I actually put a spreadsheet together for this.

If you look at the 3.31 stock gears with the MT82, the 2.97 trans with the 4.10 gears seems to be the closest match except 6th, where RPMs are higher.

Can Simone make a chart for 4.30s like that on a mt6 2011 5.0
An 4.10s

I have 3.55s right now now

I think one can be purchased (not installed) for a bit less than $3k.

Not included is the slip yoke driveshaft, clutch assembly, crossmember, and sensor hook ups. Looks like a $5k+ job. Forget using a MGW shifter also.

Of course the shifter is a direct shift shifter that works pretty well right out of the box. It doesn't have the body vs trans location problems that the MT82 has.

Just reporting back, I have had BG Syncroshift II for about 2 weeks now and it made a world of difference. 2nd gear is sometimes notchy when cold but im much happier now. There is some gear whine present but you have to turn the radio off and really listen for it to notice it.

Maybe im not used to driving the car yet but I swear shifting into 5th gear can be a little bitch at WOT.

Glad to hear the fluid is working out for you!

I've only shifted into 5th at WOT twice, both were passes at the Texas Mile and I had no issues. Maybe my Joe Heck Racing shifter and bracket helped.

Looks like these guys are selling a full kit ... no word on pricing yet per their site.

Definitely would want 4.10's with the Tremec since 4th is 1 to 1. Another $500+.

 

[Grabber2012]

JPC and D&D should have the whole kits available by now.

Figured I'd throw my analysis out there with Amsoil MTG. So far so good. It helped tremendously with the grinding. That may also be in part to not having the soggy piece of paper that is the stock shifter, though. Like Five Ohh said above, second gear is still a bit of a whore to engage when it's really cold but after everything is warmed up, it's very smooth. Third gear used to crunch really bad but now it flows and engages like all the rest.

Definitely glad I switched fluids.

Amsoil has a new filter for the Coyote and Roadrunner engines. The nano fiber synthetic media used is superior to both the WIX and FRPP filter.

Amsoil EaO17

I just ordered this filter. I think it's worth mentioning that it's the same size as the one that came from the factory unlike some of the aftermarket ones that are shorter.

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

You can also use an EAO11 filter, it is slightly larger than the 17. Its the same filter that the 4.6 uses. I verified that it would work on my 2012. If you notice in the Ford Racing power pack they include the same size filter.

You are correct. I have read of many confirmed instances that the larger EaO11 will fit on the Coyote and Roadrunner engines.

Preferred Customers buy this filter for only $13.15

Amsoil Ea017 Filter

So I want to get a cap style filter wrench for when I change the oil. Anyone know what size fits?

Thanks.

Cap style filter wrenches will not work for aftermarket Motorcraft filters, nor will they work with the currently sold EaO11.

The EaO17 and OEM "500" motorcraft filters will work with a cap style wrench, but I have no idea what sizes are required.

Never had a problem hand tightening and loosening mine, and never had any leaks.

Ditto, I only hand tighten my filters. Removing them by hand most of the time. The only reason why I use filter wrenches is to remove filters that are too tight to remove by hand.

Never a leak.

This will be my first oil change for the car so I guess it depends on how tight the factory has the filter.

You can always use a large channellock to get the old filter off. Done this many times...

I have been running the larger FRPP 4.6 filter for the past year myself and it definitely fits. It's definitely fatter and I think that it's shorter than the factory one also.
