Redline gearbox oil

Hey guys soz if this has already been discussed before, wanting to know which redline gearbox oil do i go for superlight, lightweight or heavy shockproof? as hte distributors here dont know whats best for the dc5r gearbox!! cheers guys

Has been discussed, and if I remember correctly - everyone says that Redline is NOT the way to go. Correct me if I'm wrong

Used light weight shock proof and like it alot. For both street and track as it got rid of my random second gear crunching!

This royal purple im using at the moment sucks in comparsion.

Listen to ppl who have actually tried this stuff themselfs. Not people who have heard from their dog's gf's mom's son.

cheers temp, yeh im about to purchase REDLINE LIGHTWEIGHT SHOCKPROOF, as in other threads this lightweight shockproof does the job no more grinding 2nd gear, let you guys know after i put it in.

No need to be rude champ. The thread I read on this site, only yesterday, concluded that Redline should be stayed away from. Thought I would pass that on.

for ur info poeple on this site have tried redline and had MAJOR issues with it pm 45SET he will give u a run down as he has had first hand use with this oil.
cheers

I use a private mineral blend from a victorian firm...ULX or something.
80w-90...No issues in the gearbox for 1 season of supersprints.

not sure why ppl want to go aftermarket. OEM MTF 06 is smoooth as hell... why would u even want to use anything else? just coz it has a motul , or redline brand on it ?

i can recommend redline mt90,i have used it in a whole range of front wheel drive g/boxes and had good results.

i experianced this problem when i first bought my r.... I use Redline lightweight shockproof gear oil.

the previous owner used this oil and had it in the car for about close to 15k km.... so it was dead, so i was getting the 2nd gear crunch. i changed it, and it was gone, cold, hot, high rpm, low rpm... felt like a hot knife through butter. the oil is about 10k old... so it'll need a change shortly, as i am getting the 2nd gear crunch on cold starts.

on a side note... if you want to set your seat up "correctly" have is so you can rest your wrist on the top of the steering wheel, with a slight bend in your elbows.... and so that you can fully depress the clutch.... with a slight bend in your knee.

hope this helps dude... if you try all the above (using a none OEM oil), changing seat possition etc etc it might be something inside the box... also how many ks on the car? this might give the guru's a better idea.
