Anyone here use Tungsten Disulfide in their manual trans?

Wondering if anyone else here uses Tungsten Disulfide (ws2) mixed in with their trans fluid in their manual transmission?

I've used it in my older 92 Ranger for several years (reached over 500k miles), in my motorcycle final drive fluid, and just about anything that has a gear box. I mix it in with grease too. The particle size is .4 micron for the 1 pound I purchased years ago, and I still have a decent amount left.

My old 92 finally would go no more, so this past week I've moved onto a 2006 Ranger with manual trans. Just did a full tune up and fluids change out.
When I did the manual trans, I also mixed in my ws2 powder. With new fluid and ws2, it seems to shift a little better.

Anyone else?

No affiliation with any company, just trying to help fellow Ranger owners with more information.
I learned about this stuff from one of my cycle forums, some engineers in this field on that forum swear by the stuff and got me on it. They have been using it for several years. They mix it in with their engine oil as well now that the particle size is small enough to go through most any filters. The stuff I have is 0.4 micron particle size.

Not sure. I've never done a before/after comparison. I do it more for the diminished wear on parts.

I've been using it in my final drive of my cycle for four years now.
Last time I did maintenance and peeked at my final drive gearing, I the factory machining marks were still on the gears and hadn't been worn away yet.
