thinking to switch it to all MTL this fall. The MTL is a little thinner and
should shift easier in the cold. The factory VW stuff is very thin and can be
noisy in older cars. The mix wasn't bad last winter but would be

S-15s used the Tremec T-5, same as the Mustangs/Camaros etc.

Roger, quick reply. I have used M1 ATF in 3 MB trannies. 1 is still In
Progress but shifts better, flaring stopped, downshift clunks gone etc.

has 239k miles on original tranny- last 110k on M1 shifrs like new. YMMV

ATF is, I don't know about M1, though I did use it in the '70 220D, '81
240D, and '84 190D - all with manual tranny's.
