[QUOTE="POSFTW, post: 10267645, member: 111367"] Start by reading your owners manual, you all did this upon delivery right. You will see the listed fluid as XT-11-QDC for your MT-82. This fluid is for DCT's like my 2011 Fiesta. Day one I said WTF? I had read and knew the MT-82 required XT-M5-QS. I mentioned this to my dealer, my parts department, and every single 2011 owner I had the privledge of meeting. Needless to say I was told it is the correct fluid, a typo, I am a liar, and the list goes on. Frankly I don't really give a ****, this really is my last attempt to help the community. XT-M5-QS has been the key to get many Getrags to shift correctly, Mazda guys swear by it. After the weather turns cool, consistantly around 35 degrees the problems really start. Same baulky, notchy, clunking bullshit as everyone else. At 3,559miles I drain out the brown super thin XT-11-QDC and replace with light amber XT-M5-QS also known as tranny honey. The tranny right away was smoother, it felt lubricated and protected. I went easy for a hundred miles and then lightly got on it for the next few hundred. Everyday the tranny feels better. This tranny really likes to be hot. I now have almost 500 miles since the switch, I suspect there is damage to the trans but what can I do now. I honestly suspect the shifter and linkage as a possible problem area. When I boil the tranny tunnel and can actually feel the heat coming through the carpet and shifter I know it is party time. My shifter, knob, center console, body tunnel or tranny tunnel are always the last to get warm. When the car is warm, the shifter warm, tunnel warm, this thing will rip. Theory time. The air that circulates under the car, around the tranny, through the linkage is cooling everything down too much. I do not know if the durometer of the shitty rubber in the linkage or shifter but I know it hates the cold. The linkage is most likely binding or sticking or needs some lube. Above 40 degrees the car is perfect now. Yeah we all know the hydraulics, pressure plate bolts, clutch pedal all got ****ed, but seriously guys just read your owners manual.
