Just got off the highway. I wish I had recorded some data previously to doing this...like an 80-60 coast down time. It feels sooo much smoother...less drag. Not sure if it helps WOT but it can't hurt. I am definitely getting g a smaller tube next time although given how much I got back in I was definitely low and what I pulled out was sludge. It barely flows... Warranty was done 500 miles ago. Hopefully I did this in time.

That's great to hear. I noticed a decrease in drive train drag as well.  It's amazing how such a small gear box is the pinch point of these systems.

This is all I got with a mitivac. I am holding it almost horizontal and it isn't rushing out. #thatcan'tbegood

Wow that is bad. Mine was still fluid. A few flushes would be a good idea.

That's some thick stuff right there. Coasting is smoother for sure and a rolling WOT seems more responsive. Didn't get to brake boost a launch but take off was crispy with firm shifts. Would give it at least 15 miles of stop n go through the gears as I only took small journey to e-way and first time getting on it produced a slight hesitation from gear to gear under high rpm's...after little warm up that was gone.

Glad to hear it helped. Did I mention how much I hate the smell of gear oil. Sitting down for dinner with my wife in a bit and am waiting for "what's that smell!?!"

Oh yeah...used gear oil smells like auto death. My son smelled the jar (haha) 2 hours ago and says he can taste it still.

Just got back after a little spin. Gonna have to say that the biggest difference I've noticed now is when getting on it pretty hard and letting off at around 55 with all that torque built up and how it seems alot less harsh...got the chills a little!!!

Very cool! I may swap my fluid again tomorrow just because there was so much sludge in it.

Be interesting to see how discolored it is from the quick change. Wonder how this royal purple is gonna look compared to the ford gear oil after some miles?

If there is a vent tube atop the unit, could have been fluid coming out of there down the side.

There is a tsb on that actually

Who's done this on a PP 13?  Would love to change mine in the near future.  Just want to know all before I begin.  25,600 on the clock
