It has more friction.? This fluid has been recommended by many people whith
modern cars that have developed shifting problems.? I have a case of the stuff
for my Honda S2000.? I'm going to try it in the Healey.

Hi Bill,?
?
Not to my knowledge. "Friction Modified" can mean two different things. IE more
friction or less friction. The Healey transmission synchronizer rings can
benefit from an oil that has more friction (less slippery) so that the synchros
can grab harder & quicker when you shift. It also makes OD engagement more
positive. Redline MTL & MT-90 have higher friction coefficients than some other
lubes. On the other hand, motor oils usually work better with a lower friction
coefficient, except during ring break in.?
?
Some more modern transmissions seem to benefit from a lube that has less
friction, lower friction coefficient. I'm really not sure if the GM "Friction
Modified" has a higher or lower friction coefficient than standard. If it means
less friction, it would be worse in the Healey transmissions.?
?
I do know that on automatic transmission fluids, "Friction Modified" means that
the lube has less friction to promote smoother shifts.?
?
Regards,?
