I have an STi V3 used for hill climbs, so the starts are very hard (5000 rpm, dump the clutch)I'm still on the original 1997 clutch/box.
Any thoughts on a high impact oil which doesn't sap the power?

Castrol Syntrax, Rock oil, Sikolene seem to be the most common ones people us.. not sure which would be best for your abuse though.. got Castrol Syntrax in mine and it made the changes much nicer and it felt less like a tractor gearbox.. you might want the opposite for this application?

 

Silkolene are highly recommended

 

Synco is an awsome product, use it in my type R...
for engine oil u r looking @£100- for 4 ltrs!!
£30- for brake fluid and £60-70 for rear axle transmission fluid.

It is used also in my friends comapny rally car (ver 3sti)

depends how much u want to spend i guess...!

 

Redline shock proof lightweight?

 

Thanks guys, I just want to eeek out my poor old box which is in great shape despite all the abuse and those warnings from everyone. Have a huge respect for the Austrailians and their Scooby's, ie Whiteline, so will follow that path, blow the cost.....

You can use the same in the diff too as the plates are sealed, it only oils the cogs etc..

 

As Jolly Green Monster said that is what Subaru here in New Zealand recomend. I run that in my car now and what a difference to acceleration
