Bit thinner than stock but not as thin as what some of the US guys in cold climates have used.

    Got a khana on the weekend so between now and then will see...
    Do not buy Redline LW shockproof from Bursons or Redline Australia at app $160 per gallon.I got it from Extreme motorsport for less than $100 as they import it direct from the states.i had excellent results with RL in a baulky RX7 box

    here is another place to buy it

      Do not use the shockproof in the gearbox, it'll glaze the synchros.

          Tbh I had never even heard of turret oil until I stumbled across an mx-5 forum a few days ago... But no, the 86 doesn't have that setup

          I have been told Redline stuff can be had from Amazon.com (US) for ridiculously cheap prices even after shipping.

          I don't think anyone is using the Shockproof oils, just their standard stuff

              Nafe is the same. And I drove it a fair bit over the last couple of days and his gearbox felt fine. And it has 12,000km on it.

              I used to put the Redline Shockproof in my old Silvia's gearbox and it made it much better.

                Mines at Melbourne docks but demo manual was smooth as was a mates gt manual I borrowed for a run up mountain hwy. Hopefully mine's the same.

                Going back to S15 days in '01, I recall using redline mt90? which improved things. From my shitty memory, shock proof wasn't recommended.

                  Had the khana today and car was a champ, no gear issues at all, in fact I think it has improved a bit more now

                  From memory ran consistently in the top 5 of ~15 cars which included various turbo cars and a pair of v. quick Evos

                  For a BRZ which is completely stock save for the tyres that is pretty impressive IMHO!

                      Whats the gearbox on these things Toyota or Fuji, 28,000km S/H one we tested today was notchy
                      its been babied for interstate trips and reminds me of the older Subey boxes long in the tooth.

                      Toyota should option their v8 on a supra version of it with or at least their v6 with charger

                          86 got taken to another dealer to see their take on it, crunch seems like a common issue.

                          They reckon it will get better as the k's roll on (at 7600 now), im doubtful.

                          The box isn't wonderful, its notchy and thats just how it is, but it shouldn't be crunching.

                          So thats with the nulon 75w 85? Would you rate it?

                            It's definitely improved the shifts, though I suspect you could probably use any full synth 75w85 or 70w80 and get similar results

                              It's a tweaked Aisin AZ6 so the same box as the S15, Mx5, S2000 etc. Mine works just fine and feels pretty much exactly like an S15 box, I've just assumed it's big problem was that there's lots of americans driving it.
