Default thickest gearbox oil

For a 95 sti 5 speeder.
Makes a whine and a weird grinding noise in 4th 5th gear, wanted to see if thicker oil will make a difference.

So what would be the thickest oil i could use ?

it wont make it any better probably worse, if your gonna do anything best to just change oil for the correct grade , thicker oil will only ***** it up quicker

Cheers, the weird thing is though when the car is cold the gearbox sounds fine. But once it warms up after about 20 mins it gets really bad and very audible.

You could try Millers CRX 80/140 if you want to go that route.

You have checked the levels?
