Yea I'm using Redline Shockproof (the blue "alien blood" lol) with a twin plate Quarter Master clutch with Tilton rally plates.
Makes a fucking lot of noise
8) But holds onto the ponies unlike my Exedy 5 puck which gave up after 1 month of abuse on 320kw atw.

if you have a problem with your gearbox and want a quick fix then i suggest you use the redline, i myself have personally called them to discuss the affects it has on synchro equipped boxes and have been told than they are not so designed for them, more so for dog-engaged type gearboxes. but in saying that, they also said that they use them on synchro equipped boxes and seem to run fine.
why dont you try NEO gearbox oil, ive heard they are better than redline and suited for synchro boxes too.

I run penrite SIN gear oil.
All good!

i believe that a GL5 rated oil is for dog boxes, since they dont use synchros to align the gears but rather blocks on the gear to align them, it causes more shock in the box when they engage. so i think this would be the only time redline would be used, which is also what PPG recommends to use in their dog boxes.
Hahahahaa thats a fact....... but you will still get noobs (with no research basis) posting its the shitznitz for stock evo boxes go figure :lol:
I think they just like the name and bragging rights and too lazy to research thoroughly :roll:
Well said though Lan spot on.

Good discussion, I had my Evo 1 gearbox pulled down and inspected when I had my clutch replaced last year at Techsport. I was actually advised to put Lightweight Shrockproof back into it after the pull down as the gearbox checked out fine with 100000km's on the clock and having used Lightweight Shockproof for about 50000 of them km's.

I have syntrans in my box, (early j-spec box too), shifts smooth like butter. Sometimes when it's realllllllllly cold it's hard to get into third the first time, but that's as bad as it gets.
