good, because i would not reccoment that your STI type R with 5MT DCCD should use Limited slip diff, and not 75/90 Syntrax Driveline.

Castrol Syntrax Driveline 75/90 is OK for EDM GT/WRXs. Have used this on 4 of my EDM WRXes. Shifts better than new!

But, on a 280hp JDM STI Type R with DCCD and LSD rear diff, for more heavy use, on and off track, I would reccomend Castrol SAF-X 75/140 or SAF XJ 75/140 for limted slip diff.

I used SAF XJ on my previous STI v4 Type R V limited on both box and rear diff. Car was only used for track driving.

4 litres for the gearbox
1 litre for the rear diff
And yes, Syntrax and SAF X/XJ can be used both in gearbox and reardiff

Would not, under any circumstance, use 75/90 driveline universal on a STI Type R with DCCD box and LSD rear diff

ive already bought the 75-90 what problem is this going to cause useing it in my box. ive used the fully syn silkoline in the diff 2 weeks ago and thats been mint. other people have said they used the drive line universil 75-90 and its been spot on.

let me get this right, am i ok to use the 75-90 driveline in my V4 type R gear box( i bloody hope so cos it was just put in yesterday). ive not used it in my rear diff cos i was told to use a fully syn so i use silkoline fully syn.

If any1 has used syntrax driveline 75-90 in there type R box please let me know of any problems or if its been ok

Cheers Nicky
