Witnessing a bit of noise selecting reverse and first. While running can hear a bit of a drone/rumble from the box. I understand that using Redline Shockproof gear oil may alleviate this problem. Is this correct, and where can i purchase it from, and how much should i fill the gearbox with? MY93 WRX Import

think you'll need about 4 litres (long time since i did mine) Castrol Syntrax is equally as good for fixing poor changes etc. but Redline is good stuff and smells nice too :D

Nice one Kev, much appreciated. Wasn't sure which was better, the Castrol product or the Redline.

Is about £16 a litre right?

paid about 7-8 quid a litre for Syntrax if i remember rightly, i know redline is dearer though


kev :)

think the g/box max line is 3.5litres

will fill to 3.5 litres and check levels...

nice one guys

thanks

Redline is about £10.50 per quart (.9ltr)grom Graham Goode

Desi - for a car of your age you might want to stop a little before 3.5 before you start checking. Maybe something like 3.2, and give it a few mins for the level to stabilise :)

Also the lines between low and full is not 1l either it is 500mls

I shall take your advice, and ensure i don't overfill the gearbox. i will let you know if the noise subsides after changing the oil. Thanks for the help team!! Much appreciated.
