I have Castrol oil in mine. From a cold start 2nd gear is an effort, but after the initial shift and I've turned out of my street everything is quite smooth.
It's only crunchy into 2nd if I force it. If I double de-clutch it will go in ok. As I said, once I've done one good shift into 2nd it seems to be fine. Makes me feel less confident about my expensive 6 speed though...
6 speeders - What gear oil are you using?

Re: 6 speeders - What gear oil are you using?
Capacity for the 6speed is about 1.8 to 2 quarts
There is a good guide HERE
Redline oil is available from Harold at PerformanceLub (no affiliation - happy customer)

it is in quarts because the yanks are still in another universe and they do the math and we do the maths. Redline is also sold by Bursons.
