Changed my MT fluid from Motul 300 to Ford Motorcraft XTM5QS thanks to suggestions from this forum and glowing reviews from the Miata and S2000 forums. Shifting feels amazing now and the car is a joy to drive again. XTM5QS really is unicorn blood as people say it is.
Motul felt like ass from day 1 - every gear was hard to get into. The notorious 2nd gear crunch/clank was constant, and 5&6 took a lot of effort to get into. And I ran this fluid for less than 20,000km.
Motorcraft feels slick and effortless and reduced the frequency of the 2nd gear crunch. I picked this up from my local Ford dealer for $20CAD/qt. This is a good cheap alternative to the discontinued Pentosin MTF2.
