REDLINE MTL

Its time for me to change the tranny fluid in my 97 F350 PSD with a 5spd, its sticking in 3rd gear and its been 40K. Has anyone ever used Redline MTL? I've seen some older posts reccommending it. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I changed out the tranny oil to mtl after reading about it here.My 2nd gear was a pain to engage without it grinding.After the switch I though nothing changed on the first ride but after a few miles found it much better.After a lot of miles this summer I find it will grind every so often but nothing like before.Big differance for me,not perfect but won't be pulling out the trans for now like I was planning.
