Just did the fluid swap. At 99k miles I had a grind going into 5th when the trans was cold and it’s completely gone now and it feels great. 10/10 would recommend
I changed from factory oil after I had trouble shifting into first when waiting to turn left. Switched to Redline MTL. Smooth shifting ever since. I can get about 50k miles before it needs a change; as soon as shifting is sometimes stiff. Expensive but my MT-82 shifts almost like an old school BMW!
I just put this oil in with the additive and it has made a world of difference. So smooth now feels like a new transmission! Thank you for posting this video! 🔥👍
Dude thank you!! I just did exactly what you did and it feels like a brand new trans almost!!! I am just about to hit 14K Miles and I started getting that Sandy notchy 3rd gear feel and now it's totally gone.. Look I am no fool I know an oil change will smooth a motor or trans out for a day or 2 but this is something else!! I am blown away at how easy the trans slips into gear now..
Problem is the t56 magnum screws up the gearing badly. It's WAY longer gearing. A clutch and shifter fixes most of the issues along with fluid. I'm a huge tremec guy but in a 5.0 you gotta worry about gearing. 373 may be ok if you're boosted (w the tremec) but na even 373 is nowhere near enough gear with a t56 magnum. I would do a calimer mt82 with a 5.0 because of the gearing and its also alot cheaper. If you have 373 and are boosting the t56 would be a good choice but anything less than 373 still isn't gonna be enough imo.
Just changed my tranny fluid with this BG syncroshift II and the additive. I was having trouble with 5th gear grinding and notchy when shifting. It definitely made a difference. ...thanks for the info
I can attest to this. I’ve used this fluid for almost 2 years. My mt82 is still slightly notchy for the first 2 shifts in the morning but it’s a manual trans... not perfect. I didn’t use that additive. This BG fluid is great
I just hit 12,600 miles and got locked out of 3rd twice in the last month.. I am pissed.. It was always a little cluncky but I never had lock out before.. I have syncro 2 ready to go I gotta get some rear oil so I can put the car on stands and do the gear oil and rear oil too, at the same time....
Thanks for the video review. One point I would make is that you are comparing a DCT Fluid (essentially ATF) to a full on Manual Transmission fluid (the Amsoil mix) and they should be different. That mix was "designed" or intended for Hard Racing applications where other fluids would heat up and fade. This BG fluid, Redline DCT and the Amsoil DCT all show a marked improvement over the factory fluid.
I'm so glad I'm more of a dig racer.. The only gears I'm worried about are the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4. Don't misunderstand me I want them all to work smoothly... I think I've ran forth out hard to 5th maybe twice in the year I've had my car..
Soon as I got the car fully warmed up, it was popping into gear!! And I swear I hate to be that dude that try's something for 5 minutes and says Oh yeah Its fix'ed! But my God what a difference in smoothness!
I am speechless i bought mine not too long ago and was looking up videos on what usually goes bad and saw this video and noticed i had the 2nd gear issue so i decided to buy the additive and fluid and wow its a night and day difference its well worth the money defenetly recommend
2014 V6 manual here. Had the same clunks with 105,000 miles and original fluid. Decided against BG because no major retailers carried it. Put in Motul DCTF because it met Ford specifications. Noticed no real difference for the first 500 miles. Then around 1,000 miles after the change, I noticed that everything was smoother. Didn't fix 100%, but definitely worthwhile.
I’ve done both except I had bg in winter and amsoil in the summer sooo not same temperature but both oils when warmed up felt and functioning the exact same if anything the amsoil cocktail feels smoother in my opinion the only difference of getting a better feel is a short throw shifter and aftermarket clutch with a stain steel line
Just purchased and waiting for delivery. Doing an exedy clutch and an MGW. Even going as far as separate reservoir just for the clutch fluid and a trans mount bushing. Hoping to remedy the mt82 in every possible direction
I still have the factory clutch and everything, only thing I have is a steal braided line. BG helped amazingly, cold mornings are way smoother and it somewhat helps the lockout.
I have those mark's on my drive shaft as well, I've found it's a combination of the car being lowered and if you put a third person in the car, or weigh down the back it will rub on bumps.
For the little bottle of additive….do you use the entire bottle of it and then follow up with the tranny fluid? Or do you use half the bottle of additive?
I'm doing the syncro 2 tomorrow Morning along with the additive too.. I only have 13,850 miles on my 2017 so I'ma see if this stuff really works.. I am doing my rear also, so I am going to put Half of the MGC additive into the trans case and a little into the rear too..
I've never had issues with mine not going into gear. It's always been on stock motorcraft fluid. It's at 100k now. Contemplated to replace the fluid with BG synchroshift II , amsoil, or back to motorcraft. I guess its back to motorcraft for another 100k.
I just tried a quick 1-2 shift after installing Barton shifter, just to see what kind of improvement i could see. 3 or 4 shift that worked fine. Tried it again a nite got major grind lock out. It must be due for a cocktail
I think the oil is not the culprit as much as needing the BG additive to help with any oil brand. Like rearend oil change and adding limited slip additive. I changed oil in my Toyota PU and it didnt shift right w recommended oil weight. I added Slick50 MT additive and was like stock smooth again.
$300 you can get a portable swamp cooler. I live in Vegas and I can leave the garage open, place the cooler by the open door facing in and be comfortable on a bright and sunny 110 degree day.
So, you posted this 8 months ago. Are you still happy with the BG? Is it much smoother than the Amsoil? Have you tried any other fluids like Redline or Royal Purple?
Stay away from Royal Purple the company is not run by the same people that started it, therefore their product went downhill and has been known to ruin vehicles. If you don’t believe look em up, you will hear horror stories.
Just ordered mine from your link and sent him a message how I found out about OPracing. Other than removing the fill plug first do you have any other needed advice? Thanks for the tip, anxious to service the transmission in my recently acquired 12 GT w only 45k miles (one owner).
I have 60k in my s550 mt82 I used the ford dct it was ok at 10k at 20k did the bg with additive but still had issues in the cold but was way better then ford fluid at 30k did bg with the ford mt82 additive felt the same at 40k did redline mtl it wasn’t as good as the bg cold but when tracking the car felt better then bg stuff at 45k swapped to motul dct f fluid it’s a ester base oil made the biggest difference could and hot now I’m at 60k and plan on trying amsoil dct fluid since I’ve been using amsoil 0w40 signature series oil and no more tick just with oil
You think it would help with my annoying transmission whine (through my 1st-4th gear) doesn’t whine in reverse or in 5th and 6th gear. 🤷🏽♂️ I don’t know what else to do. Any help would be great
You can start with the $20 additive if you just put it in there. If you've had it a while and are willing to do the whole kit, then give her a shot! It really improved over my amsoil
@@d.hayward5232 Always a good tip too. Idk what it is but it aligns the gears or something haha. Even have to do it in my daily. Most Ford manuals I've driven i've had to do it.

so if you got the additive are you supposed to fill the little cup with the oil as extra fluid and then put in the additive into the oil and pump ? or do you put the additive in the oil and then fill the little cup with the excess oil ???
I'm definitely using it again, because I feel like its good for the transmission. I was told from the previous seller my car already had a stage 2 clutch in it, so maybe I already don't experience as much issues as others do, to notice much improvement? In order of most effective to least 1. Mgw short throw shifter 2. Stage 2 clutch (twin clutch ) 3. BG synchroshift with mgc additive
being in califoria with your high enission laws do you ever have a problem with your 02 sensors not reading ready. if so whats your fix thanks in advance.
I have to say that most of these fluid changes I’ve seen on the MT 82 they’re using the wrong Amsoil fluid, Amsoil customer service told me that the MT 82 requires their dual clutch transmission amsoil DCT fluid fluid the same that Ford uses aka Motorcraft DCT
I didn't get the additive with my kit so I couldn't add it but second gear still feels kinda scetchy. I the Instructions it says to get the fluid about and 1/8th of an inch if I remember correctly from the fill hole. Not really sure why they say that tho
So I've just purchased a 2014 gt manual with the mt82. Which upgrades should I start with to make that transmission better? And which transmission to people switch to taking the mt82?
I have a 2019 mustang gt, with 22,000 miles and I’m going to change the transmission fluid soon. Being that it’s almost August, how does the BG fluid do in 30-50 degree weather?
I just got my 2011 6spd mainly stock besides exhaust, the tranny whines in all gears besides 5-6th but it isn’t grinding in any gears and no pop outs? What would this be just curious?
@@JacobRDoty that sucks that you are still having problems, until now. Usually amsoil and MGW fixes it. Do an update after a few 1000 miles on this BG stuff 👍
About to buy some. Can’t downshift into first anymore without grind, 2-3 has to be forced in just like your second gear, I’ve had the music on and not pushed it in all the way and it started spazzing. Been doing 1-2-4 getting on the freeway.. It’s overdue for maintenance tho, anyone else had grinding issues that this has fixed? I know I’m probably due for a new clutch too, but been going super easy on it
Great info Jacob! I need to change the fluid in my 16 GT, it's at 36k and is starting to be notchy a bit, so it's probably time. A lot of the local Mustang group members use it too.
Hey man I was wondering what gloves do you use for all the work you do? They seem like they don’t rip or are uncomfortable to wear? Please let me know.
I have an S550 which looks 10X's better than the S650's, and Honestly your car looks better than the S650's.. Way better.. I don't know what Ford was thinking....
I am still under 10,000 miles on my 2017 should I put this stuff in now or wait till 15K or 20K to do it??? Because mine is a little clunky less once warmed up all the way but still a little rough from time to time.. And I was wondering if I should just put this in now for protective reasons???
It’s never too early. If that’s the factory fill, you for sure will want to change the MTF/gear oil. I actually even go as far as recommending changing the MTF with every motor oil change, or at least every other oil change. It will depend on how hard you drive your car, and also how often you do so. Considering the full capacity of the (manual) trans fluid is around ~2.7 qts, buying 3 qts of adequate fluid shouldn’t be too bad, as long as you look for some bundle sales on gear oil/MTF. I tried everything, but it looks like the gearbox likes a certain viscosity of manual trans fluid, which is somewhat similar to how Tremec uses ATF in their manual gearboxes; however, Getrag’s MT-82 definitely doesn’t take well to ATF… Anything beyond a GL-4 75w-85 gear oil/manual trans fluid (MTF), is too thick IMO. I guess if you can deal with taking more time to drive and properly warm up the gearbox, it will be fine. I personally find that even 75w-80 is a bit too thick to warm up quickly, esp in the winter; although this is probably the best “in between” weight for a good protection MTF, and isn’t crazy thick (will cause grinding when cold, and lock outs when hot). Go to Bobistheoilguy, and they have a full list of GL-4 rated MTF’s/gear oils. The OEM Ford DCT fluid is fine, but it’s super expensive. All the other brands are perfectly fine imo, but I chose to stick to Redline Dctf, since it has the thickest visocity of all the other brand DCT fluids, and it is a perfect “in between” gear oil!
Dammit I wish I knew about this before I spent 1500 on a stage 3 clutch and flywheel. Have you upgraded to a steel braided line or still running the plastic oe one?
Just did the fluid swap. At 99k miles I had a grind going into 5th when the trans was cold and it’s completely gone now and it feels great. 10/10 would recommend
Are you sure you are shifting right? With all due respect, you don't sound like your smart or know how to drive.
I have a grind going into second so I hope this will fix it
Btw, scheduled service interval for trans fluid replacement is 60k miles.
hey did this fix it, its kinda hard to get into second from first and clunky, did yours get fixed?@@2slow5oh
@@2slow5ohDid it fix it? i have a grind going into 3rd have to shift slow for it to not grind and even then it’ll occasionally grind

I'm definitely using it again, because I feel like its good for the transmission. I was told from the previous seller my car already had a stage 2 clutch in it, so maybe I already don't experience as much issues as others do, to notice much improvement?
In order of most effective to least
1. Mgw short throw shifter
2. Stage 2 clutch (twin clutch )
3. BG synchroshift with mgc additive
Great vid man, about to do my S197. Do you put the entire bottle of additive in or some other amount
being in califoria with your high enission laws do you ever have a problem with your 02 sensors not reading ready. if so whats your fix thanks in advance.
Legally, I can't give you advice there. Butttttt I've heard of people knowing people to help that
I have to say that most of these fluid changes I’ve seen on the MT 82 they’re using the wrong Amsoil fluid, Amsoil customer service told me that the MT 82 requires their dual clutch transmission amsoil DCT fluid
fluid the same that Ford uses aka Motorcraft DCT
I didn't get the additive with my kit so I couldn't add it but second gear still feels kinda scetchy. I the Instructions it says to get the fluid about and 1/8th of an inch if I remember correctly from the fill hole. Not really sure why they say that tho
So I've just purchased a 2014 gt manual with the mt82. Which upgrades should I start with to make that transmission better? And which transmission to people switch to taking the mt82?
Dumb question, does the 3.7 V6 6 speed use this same trans? Because man am I having some clunk issues like you describe
By changing the fluid, does it void the warranty if you have a trans issue? Thanks!
Don't believe so. They'd have to prove that it was caused directly by the fluid. This fluid is specifically made to meet the Ford XT-11-QDC Spec

Did you use the whole MGC additive bottle ?
I have a 2019 mustang gt, with 22,000 miles and I’m going to change the transmission fluid soon. Being that it’s almost August, how does the BG fluid do in 30-50 degree weather?
So when doing my trans and diff fluid I only need one bottle of the additive to use on both ?
Any word on how often they restock? I’ve been checking for weeks and still no restock
What amsoil mix did you try I just got the amsoil dct fluid
Which short throw shifter do you have? That's looks very short.
MGW standard throw and standard height. Love it! I have it trans mounted
yo bro pleaseee cold you answer this, when filling the additive not the trans oil, were you able to use the transfer pump?
I just got my 2011 6spd mainly stock besides exhaust, the tranny whines in all gears besides 5-6th but it isn’t grinding in any gears and no pop outs? What would this be just curious?
I have a 2011 mustang and my 5th grinds when I try to shift into it do you think this would help
Hey what kinda of lip do you have on your bumper I really like the way it looks so was trying to get one for my would be really helpful thanks
Do you still have the stock shifter?
MGW standard :)
@@JacobRDoty that sucks that you are still having problems, until now. Usually amsoil and MGW fixes it. Do an update after a few 1000 miles on this BG stuff 👍
About to buy some. Can’t downshift into first anymore without grind, 2-3 has to be forced in just like your second gear, I’ve had the music on and not pushed it in all the way and it started spazzing. Been doing 1-2-4 getting on the freeway.. It’s overdue for maintenance tho, anyone else had grinding issues that this has fixed? I know I’m probably due for a new clutch too, but been going super easy on it
Great info Jacob! I need to change the fluid in my 16 GT, it's at 36k and is starting to be notchy a bit, so it's probably time. A lot of the local Mustang group members use it too.
Thank you man! Always here to help as best as I can! I suggest it man.
how is the transmission been since changing to this fluid?
Hey man I was wondering what gloves do you use for all the work you do? They seem like they don’t rip or are uncomfortable to wear? Please let me know.
Does the BG fluid help with transmission whine as well or just smooth out the shifts?
How much of the MGC did you ended up using ? Plan on doing my fluid change this weekend
Maybe you’ve already done this, but have you said how it is now a few months later?
I have an S550 which looks 10X's better than the S650's, and Honestly your car looks better than the S650's.. Way better.. I don't know what Ford was thinking....
Twin cities 🤙🏼
As an admirer , waiting to get a mustang due to insurance problem That's a problem i'm sure I will Have cause I will get manual 5.0
That 6th gear rear end whine 🥰😒. I'll try this concoction.
shhhh it doesn't exist if you close your ears
Right 😂 if only. Excited to try the fluid. I have spoiled my MT-82 With all kinds of goodies, why not try this!
Funeral intro but it is the best
Lololol the Travis scott bg music !
Hey Doty, how is this working out for you 7months later?
I am still under 10,000 miles on my 2017 should I put this stuff in now or wait till 15K or 20K to do it??? Because mine is a little clunky less once warmed up all the way but still a little rough from time to time.. And I was wondering if I should just put this in now for protective reasons???
It’s never too early. If that’s the factory fill, you for sure will want to change the MTF/gear oil. I actually even go as far as recommending changing the MTF with every motor oil change, or at least every other oil change. It will depend on how hard you drive your car, and also how often you do so. Considering the full capacity of the (manual) trans fluid is around ~2.7 qts, buying 3 qts of adequate fluid shouldn’t be too bad, as long as you look for some bundle sales on gear oil/MTF.
I tried everything, but it looks like the gearbox likes a certain viscosity of manual trans fluid, which is somewhat similar to how Tremec uses ATF in their manual gearboxes; however, Getrag’s MT-82 definitely doesn’t take well to ATF…
Anything beyond a GL-4 75w-85 gear oil/manual trans fluid (MTF), is too thick IMO. I guess if you can deal with taking more time to drive and properly warm up the gearbox, it will be fine. I personally find that even 75w-80 is a bit too thick to warm up quickly, esp in the winter; although this is probably the best “in between” weight for a good protection MTF, and isn’t crazy thick (will cause grinding when cold, and lock outs when hot).
Go to Bobistheoilguy, and they have a full list of GL-4 rated MTF’s/gear oils. The OEM Ford DCT fluid is fine, but it’s super expensive. All the other brands are perfectly fine imo, but I chose to stick to Redline Dctf, since it has the thickest visocity of all the other brand DCT fluids, and it is a perfect “in between” gear oil!
@@isnowyazn I am doing it tomorrow morning..
Hell yea.. what is all that you got. So I can do the same.
????
@@DanielLopez-ht4ov Check out those two Bit.ly links in the description! Links right into the two products I used
Ok koo... Thanxs so how has it been running since you put it in there
Where do I get the little bottle from. It’s not in the syncro shift 2 box. Is it from another website
How much additive do you add?
We're did you get it from
Dammit I wish I knew about this before I spent 1500 on a stage 3 clutch and flywheel. Have you upgraded to a steel braided line or still running the plastic oe one?
Would you still recommend?
I tried that stuff at the dollar general in Galloway. Works great. Ask for teddy
