Need help with gear oil selection
I think that a synthetic oil in a manual transmission does wonders for them, because they aren't temp controlled like an automatic.
I plan on using Redline MTL, because the viscosity doesn't change as much from cold to hot and back, compared to a crude base oil, which means you will see more consistant synchro speeds under different driving conditions and more consistant shifts, as well as less wear on the brass synchros, because most GL-5 oils have sulfur reactors in them that are corrosive to brass.

Worth the penny.
