Default Cosworth 4x4 gearbox oil

Hi I want to change the oil in my Saph 4x4s gearbox as the shift is terrible and when cold it can be reluctant to go in gear. I've heard motorsport developments sell an mt75 specific oil that is meant to improve shifting yet cope with higher bhp than the usual mineral mt75 oils from comma and carlube. I can't seem to find it on their website. Any help please?
Thanks

ford listed a specific oil for the mt75 but later they changed it to just normal stuff as it was the "same" mt75 as found in fwd cars, just with an X in the middle of it

the rwd/4wd mt75 box needs that specific oil while the later mtx75 boxes didn't

i can't remember what it was now either but the wrong fluid inside it makes the shifts shite
