G'day all
Now some time ago I read an artical on all the differant types and Brands of oil for the manual gearbox.
But do you think I can find it again.
I'm going out to buy some tonight and I figured it would be handy to know what I'm talking about.
I'm thinking of getting Redline. As my gear changes can be quite knotchy going up the gears untill it warms up.
Any opions?

with LSD?
if yes, get the redline lightweight shockproof.
If no LSD, shockproof will be too thick of an oil

No LSD, bummer.
So you think the Redline is OK to reduce the notchy gear shifts when cold?

Well... it certainly hasnt on my g/box
In fact it made it worse, but its sensational when the box has warmed up.
