Well  ----------------  in a very general sense, your mechanic may be 
right - it is known that 'slippery' additives will mess up the cone clutch 
in the overdrive.

Which is precisely why the Redline MTL and MT90 work so well - as I've said 
before, they both contain friction enhancing properties.  All I can say is 
that dozens, maybe hundreds of us have been using it for years with 
beneficial results, not only in Healeys - I use it in my Toyota 5-speed 
equipped BJ8, and I know of many MG and Jaguar owners who swear by it as 
well.

Try it, you'll like it!

I was talking to a mechanic earlier this year and was told that you should
not use synthetic fluid in the overdrive because it is too slippery.   Any
comments?
