How much difference can BG fluid be if it meets the Ford Spec?

Coming from a cold weather climate, I just know it takes longer for fluid to warm so I don't expect the same shift quality from a manual transmission or even an automatic. The automatic has an advantage of the trans cooler being warmed by the engine coolant so it warms more quickly than a standard transmission. I'm pretty sure the manual trans is relying more on engine heat air flow to warm the trans in really cold temps.
Well, considering even in GA it made a difference... gotta be a lot. :) :D

Ended up going with Amsoil and the results were much better than the Ford OEM fluid. May try out the BG fluid next as that seems to be the most popular.

Does Ford still use the DCT fluid in the redesigned MT82 for the 18s?

i've been holding out because i wasn't sure if it will affect me warranty-wise, but the cold weather has made my notchiness just miserable and sometimes i'm hesitating to clutch out because it dosen't feel like it's gone into gear... maybe it's time.
was the notchiness introduced in '18?

I was going to swap out my stock fluid for BG fluids in my transmission and diff yesterday, but there ended up being a car show behind my place. I cleaned the car up instead, and say some great vehicles present, including a GT350 Track Pack with a Hellion single turbo setup and an original, real Super Bird.

I just did this last night in both transmission and rear differential along with a Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-20 oil change too. Car feels great and shifting feels a ton smoother.

I put BG Syncro fluid about 1000 miles ago and I can't tell much of a difference. I will, however, keep using their diff fluid.
