Which flavor of Redline oil was being used?

sorry if you have some technical or data to back it up but if others have had problems with it that I personally know, I will stay away from it and promote fluids that I have seen first hand to work well and solve small transmission issues. I had a few little hiccups in my tranny and throwing in motul not only helped the issues but made the transmission shift 10x smoother than stock fluid.

Interesting. I just know that Jon Burke runs it in his rally car.

I guess run amsoil then. Apparently Ryan (wrxisthebest) and I still have rally sponsorship from them for discounted oil. Shhhaaweet!

I hate to add fuel to the fire but according from Red Lines website: the "75W90 NS GL-5 Gear Oil Popular in Ferrari, Porsche and Subaru transaxles" and the same is available on popular aftermarket websites like rallysportdirect, and cobb. And I cant find any info on what type of Motul. Red line website: http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=47&pcid=7

I use Motul Gear300 for the transmission and Motul 90PA for the rearend.

I believe I used redline 75w90NS for the tranny and 75w90 for the diff, i might have had that swapped, forget which it was but it was whatever was recommended.

That's whats recommended. But I may just go with the stock fluid cuz I'm reading too much good and bad info from swapping to synthetic.
