Can anybody help, i have replaced my gearbox oil after fitting my clutch (semi synth) and my gearchange has become a bit hit n miss sometimes...
After reading various threads it sounds like syntax is the favourite replacement, anyone know of any suppliers (halfords etc) if not any southern suppliers??
Thanks people
Rob

Halfords should carry it, pity they are usually quite expensive. Perhaps there is a Castrol agent near you, check the yellow pages??

Thanks people, went over to my import friendly local dealer today, the reckon subaru own oil is the only way to go as it has minerals that prolong the life of the syncro's etc compared to normal gbox oil..
Another 8-10 squids for a gearbox fill up..
Gonna check back on search for recomendations..
Thanks again.
Rob
