Maybe not Synchros.

could be selector mechanisms.

Put the Redline Shockproof in and apparently it goes away.

Mine does it too.

so you have put the Redline stuff in but you are saying that you still have the noise.

i've got the crunch from 4th to 5th at over 3500rpm, have to let the revs come down a bit before switching the gears. 5th gear does work though i just cant change real fast.

That price is about right I paid about $110(WRX Club discount ask for it you will get it!) from oil world. See www.oilworld.com.au

My brother has it in the WRX and has made changes a little smoother.

I also have a crunch issue at high revs from 1st - 2nd & 3rd - 4th

I might try Redline at my next flush.

I haven't got the Oil, but my gearbox does crunch into 4th if I'm rushing it or changing wrong.

Pretty soon I will be putting in the Redline stuff.

Gotta try that before I got and rebuild the box.

I put in a friction reducing stuff when I changed the oil last time, not sure whether that had anything to do with the crunch appearing.

      What’s wrong with 2.6 first gear? I’ve done lots of 2nd gear starts from almost a dead stop and it just requires more clutch slip. A 2.6 first gear would be easier than that. I feel like the stock first gear is only good for severe traffic congestion where you need to be able to do 5 kph idling in first gear. Out in the US 120 kph is a very normal speed to be doing on the highways. If anything it’s slow, I regularly get passed by CA highway patrol doing that kind of speed. Out in the desert and plains even 18 wheelers are doing 130-140 kph. I would be less down on the Getrag if not for the fact that they cost north of 10k USD used and you’ll spend probably another 5k on a rebuild at least. I got my FS5R30A from Nissan for 1.5k USD. The cost of building one is maybe an extra 3-4k if you keep it reasonable. The final drive change to account for the 0.793 6th gear is also a pain to deal with.

      Usually the lower mount has a thicker/wider side, see image of the right side of the lower shock mount. Don't see why a couple of washers wouldn't do the same job.

      Counter opinon. Having both an OS gearset car and the getrag 6 speed, will take the 6 speed for the street all day long thanks. First gear on most gear sets are ASS, the bloody gear you spend heaps of time in on the street too.   I run the 4.11 and it is fine at 110, (not sure who gets to do 120)  I do find the gears a little short and doing a 3.89 setup.    Anyway back to your question, running stock LSD rear, love it. Tried an S15 helical rear, it was aweful. In the process of doing a quaife front on advice as part of the 3.89. Seems like a good option. Let you know     Car is 800awhp and mostly street.

      I do the online time trials to get silver (1mil credits). Currently the EG at Tsukuba I got 1:14.015. Show me what you got! (Don't take it too seriously I only use the controller, CBF setting up G29).
