I was told that the Redline used was actually ATF (for some weird reason).. thats what i was gonna try next.

Yeah, you will really notice how much it has degraded once you change oil.
The MTX is a pretty big transmission and it only takes a little over 2l of oil, so I think the oil is worked pretty hard.
I've used the Redline MTf (or whatever it is called, GL-4 anyway) and it is good, and better than the ford synthetic in MHO, but give the cheapo stuff a try. You might be suprised. It is GL-4 rated so you really don't need to worry about your gears any more than with the Redline. Who knows how the Ford stuff is rated because they don't say on the bottle.
