I tried MTL and my box sprang multiple leaks; changed back to 30wt and now
no problems.

My experience was just the opposite.  Shifting was considerably
smoother with MTL.
Shortly after I made the switch, however, I had problems with the
overdrive dropping out.
Replacing the o-ring in the accumulator seemed to solve the problem.
Given the cost of MTL, however
I decided to switch back to straight 30wt in case I had to drain the
oil of the gear box
multiple times in order to chase down the pressure loss issue.
