Widetrack Gearbox help
A mate of mine has a 54 widetrack STI Type UK and the gearbox has started to grind when engaging 6th even during normal driving. 4th does it if higher in the rev range or shifting down.
Will a gearbox oil change help this? Read a little about the redline shock proof oil but not too sure
All help appreciated.

Mines started to do it a little bit when high revving from 4th into 5th. But then my clutch is a bit tired now. Could be clutch related mate....
A gearbox oil change is worth doing anyway if it hasn't been done for some time. Then gauge it from there. Just use a good quality oil - Motul, Redline etc

redline shock proof hasnt helped, a very expensive way to find out its no good!

Thanks for all the replies.
I have driven this car myself today have noticed that the clutch is biting quite near the top however there is absolutely no slip.
Could the cruching be the be the fact that the clutch is on it's way out?
Thanks
