Picked up a 4.44 close ratio wrx box the other day and have decided to convert it to RWD
Just wondering whats the best stuff to use?
Tried smurf snot in the dogbox but i didnt really get to see what it was like... took me a week or so to destroy it.

RWD.. For something different.RWD? Any reason why? Smurf snot is what Im gonna put in mine, been told its the best.
Sort of defeats the purpose but might give it a shot for a bit.
I tried penrite, cost me ~$130 and gotta say it was useless.
Had 5th repaired and standard castrol oil put in it and its much better.
Might give redline a shot again.. Engine, gearbox and rear diff oil all in one shot.
See how it goes.

I've never tried Redline engine oil, but SLYDR uses it in his diff and gearbox, and somehow they havent gone bang yet! Everything else has though...

Smurf Snot is meant to be shock proof, not too sure how its meant to protect a gearbox from a big clutch stab tho.I've never tried Redline engine oil, but SLYDR uses it in his diff and gearbox, and somehow they havent gone bang yet! Everything else has though...
Might go for Mobil One or Valvoline in the engine
Redline pricing is...on the redline pingpingpingping

Redline is epic. Have in my car.
Rohan's 5th was occasionally grinding, put redline in and no more issues.
Def worth the cost.
