I know that the topic of synthetic tranny lube has been beaten to death, but I think it would be interesting to see what happens when each person is given 1 vote.

Just participate in the poll and post what you're running and what you think of it. If you were running synth and went back to dino, include a short explanation.

I had to use Shockproof Redline or I got a clash when shifting into 4th.

I think that it's more highly debated whether or not to use the stuff with friction modifiers. Somebody can give you a story that each one sucks or each one is great.

Which is exactly why I thought it would be interesting to give each person 1 vote.

For a guy that has, lots of experience, to say the least, with Subaru trannies, I would have to say that from my experiences, the stock oil is the best. Just keep it changed.

Subaru synchros don't like anything but the stock juice.

That is what I gathered from my observations anyway!
