MT82 fluid??

[NGOT8R]

Yes, sir still on the factory clutch. I don’t race or launch it.

Right on! 100K miles is certainly getting your money’s worth.

If you do the Motul DCTF, do you need to use a friction modifier or just straight Motul?

A friction modifier would only be needed in the differential, not the mt-82

Straight Motul. I've been driving with it in some cold spring weather temps and I feel a much smoother shift over the factory fluid. It was worth it.

Great, thanks for the info!

I just had Syncro Shift II w/MGC done and wow what a difference. 1-2 crunch is 75% better and the “bang” when you shift into 1st from a stop is much reduced. I should have done this a year ago.

I just got back home after doing a slow cruise and working the new BG fluid into the trans. 10/10 recommend. Not sure why I waited so long to do that. Feels like butter

My '17 manual has terrible notchy 1-2 when cold. Anyway I went with BG syncro kit below, and had the dealership change out the trans fluid and my rear diff fluid. I could tell a difference albeit subtle. So far happy. At 85,000 miles no issues so far.

I don't know what was in my mt-82, likely stock fluid. 2017 with 16000 miles, but I'm the third owner. I did not notice any shifting issues. I replaced whatever it was with Amsoil, and now I seem to have the "notchyness" most of you speak of. I wonder if the Amsoil is just too thick for the syncro's to spin up and catch up.
Deliverd today was the BG fluid. I will swap it out here at some point. I hope for the positive result others have had.
I came with a Barton shifter and I like the way it shifts...just hope to improve it.

the BG fluid was a game changer. After that the stainless clutch line has made this car very enjoyable with the barton! Make sure to check the alignment bracket on the top of the housing if you experience some shifts that aren’t right. I’m still adjusting my bracket to get my shift into 2nd perfect. That’s all that’s bothering me now

Thanks Mrbd...I will look into replacing the clutch line as well.

Glad I checked first...previous owner had already installed SS clutch line.
