I <3 Lightweight Shockproof too...
 

Damn that stuff is good. I'm not getting quite the night and day difference that Tyson, Matt, and Eric did, but my Royal Purple MaxGear was only a year and a half old. Definitely getting smoother, faster synchro engagement already though. I downshifted into 1st at >25mph three times on my test drive, and the gearbox wasn't even fully warmed up yet. :shock: Me=happy.

My tranny was night and day better after I used it. I even stopped kicking my car. For a while I mean.

IN retrospect mine wasn't Night and Day.

but reverse is much easier to get into.

I'm still happy though.

sounds like I need to change my tranny fluid. Reverse is a bear.

Reverse is better, but good lord it's easy to double clutch to 1st now. I only have to be in the ballpark on the rev match. I could probably go into first at close to 20 without DCing at all.

I read the other Shockproof thread as well, but don't know enough to make a decision here....my wife can be a bit hard on the syncros, so this sounds like a good idea even for a daily-driver like mine.

Questions are:

For extended hot-weather highway driving (trips) would this be a bad thing for bearings, etc?
Cold-weather performance should be good.
Is the replacement interval shorter for this stuff?

It would be great in your car too. It would last as long as any other oil since you don't autocross or anything. That puts a lot more stress on the fluid than even moderately hard daily driving.
