Default Redline shockproof Heavy

Anyone using their heavy mix ? Says not for synchros but since they are mushed anyway as it crunches does it matter it says not for synchros ?

I tried a bottle of lightweight mixed with normal gear oil , slightly better but before I pay £80 plus do I go for 4 litres of lightweight or heavy ?

Yeah I use it in my hillclimb car. Box had had some hammer and after recently damaging 4th we chucked a replacement 4th in there and some heavy weight and it works quite well.
I'd recommend it.
Mine came from Alyn at AS performance he sorted me out, will probably also offer you good advice on the matter

Basically, it's not safe for all synchros (vintage ones basically), so they say no to all to cover themselves.

Cheers

Hi

Rather than Heavy Shockproof, I would go for the Lightweight version as it's a bit thinner.

Cheers
