chances are the GB oil hasn't been changed for a long time, if ever so you should notice some improvement at least. The rest is just a matter of getting used to it!

make sure you put the right stuff in, it's not worth scrimping on this

This is what I got, as recommended by "oilman" of opie-oils for use in both the gearbox and rear viscous LS diff on my 1998 Legacy GT-B.

FYI the gearbox on a manual takes 3.5L and the rear diff takes 0.8L so I got 5L.
