I switched to Honda MTF...

...in my '92 900 16V 5-speed.
First I drained all of the old stuff out(don't know what it was as I just recently bought this car; 170k miles). Refilled with 2 qts 30W non-detergent and 1 qt 30W detergent. Ran it a couple hundred miles like this. Drained again, this time removing the differential cover. Cleaned the magnet and the screen filters of some metal. Also had some metal in the drain oil.
Added 3 quarts of Honda MTF ($5.75/qt and I didn't even get any fortune cookies!)
It does shift very nice, and smooth. I'd say somewhat better than with the fresh 30W, and certainly better than with the old oil.
I do have minor concern about the metal I found, but I don't intend to do many miles with this car. This is just a weekend fun-car, and an extra for our 4-driver family.
So to those who recommended Honda MTF, thanks! A nice little improvement for a modest cost!
