Frequently Asked Questions

Possibly, depending on the cause. If slipping is related to heat, fluid breakdown, varnish, or friction-related wear, MT-10® Transmission does support smoother operation. However, it is not intended to fix slipping caused by worn clutch packs, hydraulic failure, low fluid, incorrect fluid, or internal mechanical damage.

Yes. MT-10® reduces friction on treated metal surfaces and supports smoother valve movement in suitable applications. However, it cannot repair warped valve bodies, failed solenoids, broken parts, or severe contamination problems.

No. We do not recommend using MT-10® Transmission in CVTs or with CVT fluids. CVTs require specialized fluids with carefully controlled friction characteristics. Adding MT-10® Transmission or any other friction-reducing treatment may interfere with how the CVT is designed to operate.

This is especially important for off-road vehicles, ATVs, UTVs, and other powersports equipment that use CVTs with Engine Braking Systems, also known as EBS. An EBS may rely on controlled metal-to-metal friction to slow the vehicle. Because MT-10® is designed to reduce friction, it should never be added to a CVT with EBS.

Always follow the equipment manufacturer’s fluid recommendations for CVTs and CVT systems with engine braking.

Possibly, depending on the clutch design. MT-10® Transmission has been used successfully in some applications where the engine and/or transmission fluid reservoir is shared with a wet clutch. However, wet-clutch systems vary, so use caution if the clutch friction plates contain metal in the surface material. MT-10® is designed to reduce friction on metal contact surfaces. If the friction-plate surface contains metal and operates against steel plates, MT-10® may reduce the friction needed for proper clutch engagement and could contribute to clutch slippage.

No. MT-10® is added to the existing fluid. It does not replace the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid.
