I assume nothing. Yet again you're making things up in your own mind.

Trust you? No. I trust no-one. Particularly those that feel they have to quote their resume. I could tell you that I have a Mech Eng degree, and have been in Engineering, Production Management, along with FEA etc etc etc
for nearly 30 years myself (clue is in the username), but I wouldn't be as crass as that.

You're making general sweeping statements with no data sources to back them up
again. Much like telling me I have made claims, yet are unable to tell me where I have made them.

I have already said I have scoured these forums for over 2 years collecting data (statistics) searching for clues and answers to MY transmission issues before I took a certain path.
Bottom line. I have put it in MY transmission. It has worked-on MY transmission. I don't give a sh*t what you or anyone else thinks or has to say about the matter. I am simply reporting my findings. If it upsets
the don't change the fluid as it may shock the system, or indeed if you do change it don't use anything other than the OEM gear brigade, then TOUGH SH*T!
