Re: Is honda MTF still good/safe
Are you serious right now!!!
Anyways I can vouch for HONDA MTF. If I use anything else my tranny grinds bad. Yes I know I need to replace the syncros.... Blah blah blah. There are two companies that ppl believe in Honda and GM tranny fluid. All the other stuff is great, but not if you are trying to extend the life of a beaten piece of equipment. I would love to run redline in my trans but I can't, I've tried.

Well I'm not trying to be a dick, but that is literally the WORST fluid for that application. It may be shifting ok but the gears will wear like crazy. I only use it on stock cars.

Re: Is honda MTF still good/safe
For DD, stock to bolt ons the honda or other synchromeshs work great. But for any type of racing or higher power setups the honda mtf does not cut it. I love oem honda but the mtf breaks down seriously fast with heat and does not offer enough wear protection.
I built k transmissions for scca world challenge touring cars and found out early in testing that these fluids were not adequate. In my experience the motul gear 300 and motyls worked really well. For high power setups and road racing the redline lightweight shockproof was amazing for keeping gear wear down. But the redline has some funky properties to it and I would make sure the transmissions I put it in were inspected and refreshed on a regular basis as a far as synchros go.
