[Shotimes] 92 MTX fluid capacity

[Carl Prochilo]

I wonder if Ford's BOM system has the break-in date for that EC.  I wasn't
sure of the actual cutover.  I thought Doug Lewis once said sometime in 92
MY once.  But I can say that ATF does work better in my tranny than MTL
because I went with the latter not understanding the difference in parts. 
Only after I got the 3.2 and DonD installed the drain plug and put the new
fluid in did I realize the difference.  You literally can shift the car
with 2 fingers.
