Witnessing a bit of noise selecting reverse and first. While running can hear a bit of a drone/rumble from the box. I understand that using Redline Shockproof gear oil may alleviate this problem. Is this correct, and where can i purchase it from, and how much should i fill the gearbox with? MY93 WRX Import

think you'll need about 4 litres (long time since i did mine) Castrol Syntrax is equally as good for fixing poor changes etc. but Redline is good stuff and smells nice too

Nice one Kev, much appreciated. Wasn't sure which was better, the Castrol product or the Redline.

Is about £16 a litre right?

 

paid about 7-8 quid a litre for Syntrax if i remember rightly, i know redline is dearer though

think the g/box max line is 3.5litres

 

will fill to 3.5 litres and check levels...

nice one guys

thanks

 

Redline is about £10.50 per quart (.9ltr)grom Graham Goode

 

Desi - for a car of your age you might want to stop a little before 3.5 before you start checking. Maybe something like 3.2, and give it a few mins for the level to stabilise

 

Also the lines between low and full is not 1l either it is 500mls

 

I shall take your advice, and ensure i don't overfill the gearbox. i will let you know if the noise subsides after changing the oil. Thanks for the help team!! Much appreciated.
