6 speed non DCCD gearbox oil?
Hi guys I know this has probably been done to death but can’t seem to find any conclusive info. I have a non DCCD jdm 6 speed in my GC8 and I keep getting slight smell of gear oil entering the cabin. I’ve checked a dozen times now on the ramps in work and can’t find a single leak from anywhere so I was going to change the oil again. Can anyone recommend decent gear oil and also shed some light on front diff oil? According to the part number I have a rare bug eye STI RA gearbox with suretrac front diff. Part no. TY856WB1CA. Is this a separate diff oil or is it shared with the normal fluid? Also what is the actual filling capacity? I do get an ever so slight crunch at high RPM when changing from 4th to 5th, I did some reading and found redline shockproof lightweight might be a good oil to run until I get the box rebuilt properly. Anyone have any pointers? Thanks In advance

MY02 UK WRX STI 6MT gearbox info pdf attached - same box just different ratios. Also fitted with Suretrack.
Front diff and box share the same oil but has two drain plugs due to layout.

Also, I noticed the PDF you attached says to use GL5. I was under the assumption I needed to use LS oil for the front diff is that correct? There’s two options for the motul and fucsh I was looking at 😬

No LS oil required as it would messup the syncros in the box.
