well almost all road cars do, but there are non-synchro boxes out there.

*edit* sorry to add to that, there has been a suggestion that the lightwieght can accelerate synchro wear while at the same time making it shift much nicer in the short term. But since you only put this stuff into stuffed boxes anyway it is just a bandaid to keep them going a bit longer.

Long term solution is new synchros in the box but thats a pretty expensive job $800+

i use Castrol VMX 80,

works for me, i had a grinding noise at cold start and that got rid of it,

but i still think there should be something better then the VMX80

i'll have to do another research when times comes again..

I think Redline quote that oil as 70W130, and the VMX80 is whateverW80?

I have the castrol stuff in there now, and it didn't fix my crunch. It seems to go away when the car is quite hot.

ActionDan wrote up a little guide on the Redline oil in his car, and from what i've read, it should fix my problem. I'm yet to hear of anyone who has completely killed their synchros from using Redline Lightweight.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
